Welcome to the MCTV news! We start today of with a local issue that erupted controversy.
A Northeastern Iowa man has been sentenced to seven days in jail.
Forty-two-year-old Jason O’Neil Johnson was found guilty for torturing a family dog. In May 2019, he was seen holding down the dog named daisy and beating her with a belt and closed fists.
Johnson’s son recorded the beating and made his children watch the video.
At court, all he was sentenced to thirty days but all but seven of those got suspended.
Amou Mumm, Morningside Student and dog owner says, “That’s just unbelievable. I think the sentence should be higher and he should visit a mental institution, so this won’t happen again. It just looks like he got away with it easily”
