Police say, back In September, he beat his ex-girlfriend’s dog with a baseball bat in a fit of rage. He’ll be spending the next 18 months in the ARD program to prevent future incidents and was ordered to pay a $2,500 fine, as well as enroll in anger management classes.

“She’s currently undergoing treatment to recover fully and go on to live a long, happy life.
“Hopefully Wallace will certainly prove to educate not only himself, but others, that it’s not a way to treat an animal and that there are penalties for this type of action. Ruby has been with her mom back at home.”
