A man was arrested Sunday after a neighbor reportedly found her dog — who later died — with a gunshot wound outside of his Sumner County home. The woman said the dog had left the fence a while back and went to neighbor William Pate’s home. Pate allegedly sent the woman hostile messages over social media following that incident. Pate was arrested for aggravated animal cruelty. His pre-trial bond was set at $2,000, and his court date is set for Nov. 19.
