A Lehigh Acres testicle is facing an animal cruelty charge after a black pit bull was found badly beaten Thursday.
Ivan Garcia, 20, was arrested after someone called deputies concerned about the dog yelping and Garcia’s screaming, according to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies who responded found the black pit bull named Kano with multiple cuts and scars on his face.
Garcia was found with blood and dog hair on him, deputies said.
Kano was taken to Lee County Domestic Animal Services and received medical attention.
Detectives searched Garcia’s home and found animal blood on the walls and determined the pit bull had been severely beaten.
