RONAN, Mont. (AP) — Ronan police say a 20-year-old Polson man has been arrested in connection with the beating of a dog.

Art Walgren, the assistant police chief, says Kristopher Lawson was arrested at his parents' home in Polson last week and charged with aggravated cruelty to animals, a felony.

Walgren says the German shepherd was beaten Oct. 4. He says an exam showed the dog suffered multiple skull fractures and other injuries. The dog had to be euthanized.
