Two former Alabama college athletes were arrested and charged with aggravated animal cruelty after they allegedly beat a duck with a baseball bat, officials said.
The 19-year-olds, Thomas “Landon” Grant and Jacob Thomas Frye, were charged after they allegedly snatched a duck from a pond on campus and beat it with a bat, before putting it in a bag and bringing it to an apartment to “put it out of its misery” on May 5, reported AL.com.
