In Richmond, William Kucharski Jr., landed in hot water after his dad’s Labrador retriever was found dead in his arms. The 49-year-old faced 63 days behind bars after pleading no contest to animal cruelty, a lesser charge than the original killing accusation. A vet couldn’t pinpoint the dog’s death cause, only noting age-related health woes. Macomb County’s prosecutor pushed for a fair outcome, while Kucharski now faces a mental health check and separate charges in St. Clair County for arson and assault from last October.
