A strange story coming out of Bridgeville, PA this afternoon. Apparently, a Steelers fan was arrested on charges of animal cruelty for kicking his girlfriend's dog to death.
The reason? "Flip" wasn't behaving before the Steelers 27-24 loss to the Chiefs.
"He admitted the dog would not behave prior to the Steelers game and that he became upset at it," according to the affidavit.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports:
"William Woodson, 22, is being held on $25,000 bail in the Allegheny County Jail, pending a preliminary hearing on animal cruelty at 1 p.m. next Monday before District Judge Elaine McGraw in Bridgeville.
"The puppy, a 13-week-old pit bull named Flip, had been the focal point of recent arguments between Mr. Woodson and his girlfriend, Christine Gielarowski, 21, with whom Mr. Woodson lives on Jane Way."
It's a good thing this happened before this man's Steelers lost to the Chiefs. Imagine what this psycho would have done after Chris Chambers sealed their fate in overtime.
Consider this story one of the downsides of playing and beating a team with one of the most, ahem, passionate fans in the NFL.
