CHESAPEAKE, Va. – The trial against a Chesapeake man charged with killing his dog and leaving its body in the woods was scheduled to begin Friday but was continued.
Marc Harding
Marc Harding, 43, was charged in January with animal cruelty resulting in death after police said he beat his dog so badly that it died.
Harding’s neighbors wrote into News 3 shortly after the abuse happened, asking us to investigate. When we asked Chesapeake Police about the animal’s death they confirmed the crime had happened.
According to police, the dog’s body was found on a dirt road near Harding’s Sloop Trail home.
Harding bonded out of jail after his arrest and we tried to speak with him about the charges but he refused.
A new trial date has been set for September 12th at 10 a.m.
