Per the report:

“Gwinnett Police file animal cruelty charges against Atlanta Falcons Linebacker Prince Shembo. he allegedly kicked and killed his girlfriends dog . Felony charges.”

If these allegations are true, Shembo should be locked up have the key thrown away. It’s beyond comprehension that anyone would act in such a cruel way to another living creature.

Shembo had previously been investigated on sexual assault charges stemming from an incident in which a college student was attacked. Unfortunately, that student committed suicide following the attack. He was never charged in the allegation.

The Notre Dame product was a fourth-round pick of the Atlanta Falcons in the 2014 draft. He started three games as a rookie this past season.
