See, if Scott Peterson had been accused of throwing his cat or dog into the bay, he would have been tried and strung up a long time ago.<br />GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- A Gainesville man is charged with animal cruelty after authorities said he bit his Jack Russell terrier as punishment. <br /><br />Mount Lee Lacy, 21, told officers he bit his dog, Lady, because she had defecated in the house and that he routinely bit her as punishment. <br /><br />Police said the dog was cowering in the back of her crate when they found her. The dog had a bloody left front paw from the bite. <br /><br />Authorities were called to Lacy's apartment on Saturday after receiving a concerned phone call from his girlfriend's mother. <br /><br />Lacy is charged with felony animal cruelty and resisting arrest without violence. He is in jail with bond set at $25,000.
