Not long after, Michel was arrested in connection with their deaths and would later confess to killing them, stating that he shot and killed the two dogs before taking their bodies and dropping them off on the side of Carolina Spring Road, according to court records.
Michel was denied bond twice, with a judge citing concerns that Michel was unpredictable along with other concerns that he would not obey orders.
He’s currently facing the following charges:
- Two counts of felony animal cruelty
- One count of filing a false police report
