ATLANTA —
A man captured on cellphone video scaring his dog with fireworks on the Fourth of July is now facing animal cruelty charges.
The video, which was posted on Facebook, has been viewed thousands of times and created outrage, with thousands of people calling for him to be charged.
The man is also facing a charge for not having a Fulton County license for the animal.
At first, William Scaffidi tried to dodge Channel 2 Action News’ cameras, but when questioned about the video of him scaring his dog with fireworks on the Fourth of July, he decided he wanted to set the record straight.
“I feel like it’s not reflective of me at all,” Scaffidi said.
