Man accused of killing girlfriend's dog

A Holly Springs man was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly killing his girlfriend's dog.

A female owner of chihuahua told Cherokee County marshals on Feb. 22 that her dog, "Hershey," was dead, and that she suspected her boyfriend, Juan Furlan, 19, was killed it.

"Hershey" had suffered head trauma and several broken bones. Furlan was arrested March 5 on charges of theft and abandonment of a dead animal. He bonded out of jail, but was arrested again Wednesday on an aggravated animal cruelty charge.

Furlan was released from the Cherokee jail on an $11,200 bond.
