A Flint man caught on camera beating his dog with a broom is now facing charges. 38 year old, Lovell Farmer, claims he was trying to train his dog that had run away to a neighbor’s home down the road. Surveillance video shows him beating the dog. “Sweet Pea” the dog, was turned over to Genesee County Animal Control and is being cared for by a foster family. He faces criminal charges of animal abuse, neglect, torture, abandoning an animal, and a unrelated charge of delivering and manufacturing of cocaine.
