Man sentenced to up to 3 years in prison for killing puppy

PARKERSBURG, W.Va.

A Parkersburg man will spend up to three years in prison for killing a six-week-old puppy by throwing it at an entertainment center and a wall and twisting its head.

At his sentencing yesterday in Wood County Circuit Court, 27-year-old Justin Lee Bock also was ordered to pay a five-thousand-dollar fine. He also was barred from possessing an animal or living in a house with an animal for 15 years.

Bock had pleaded guilty to the unlawful killing of an animal, which is a felony.

He apologized for his actions, telling Judge George Hill that an argument with his wife, who was his girlfriend at the time, triggered the September 2004 incident.

Hill rejected a request from Bock's attorneys for an alternative sentence. He cited the defendant's criminal record, which included traffic offenses, destruction of property and battery.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
