A 30-year-old man from West Jordan , Utah , was arrested and charged with aggravated animal cruelty and possession of a controlled substance after allegedly strangling his dog to death and burying it in his backyard. Michael George Orfanos was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail following a tip from someone who said Orfanos had confessed to the crime.

When questioned by police, Orfanos initially denied having a dog living in the home but later admitted to strangling his dog three days earlier after becoming upset in a separate situation. He claimed that the dog died while struggling to breathe.
