A Reno man is facing cruelty to animals and other charges for allegedly bludgeoning a neighbor's Chihuahua to death.
Police say 44-year-old David Wells is accused of removing several wooden slats from a neighbor's patio fence and killing the dog Sunday night.
Investigators say Wells denied harming the small dog, but he was arrested after blood evidence and witnesses statements contradicted his story.
