OHMIDOG! : FBI agent shoots Chihuahua near Waco

An FBI agent who shot and killed a Chihuahua named Sassy in front of his Texas home says he deserves probation.
Amazingly, if a judge approves, that’s the sentence he’ll get.
Lovett Leslie Ledger Jr., 40, who lives near Lorena, pleaded no contest to*animal cruelty charges in exchange for a recommendation from prosecutors that he be placed on*probation for two years,*according to the Waco Tribune.
The 3-pound dog, which*belonged to a neighboring*8-year-old girl, was shot in the neck, just above her rhinestone collar, in February of 2008.
A neighbor, who witnessed the shooting when she went to investigate why her dogs were barking, said Ledger shot the dog with a pellet rifle, as one of his children watched.
Ledger initially lied to investigators about the dog’s death but later told deputies he shot the animal, according to court records. Ledger and his attorney both declined comment after a brief plea hearing Monday, the Tribune reported. The judge has set sentencing in the case for June 23.
