      “It took us over 70 years, but we finally caught the little bastard. If only Mr. Wilson had survived long enough to see his tormentor brought to justice.”

        I found this local PD post on Instagram about it, lots of his neighbors are in the comment section, seems like most knew it was him doing it and one person said King shot his dog in front of him and he had a video of it happening. There are maybe 10 houses on that small residential block so it couldn’t have been that much of a mystery to take 10 years

      I would argue that damage to property is much better than damage to people.
