A Tuscaloosa County man faces animal cruelty charges for allegedly shooting his horse and then beating it to death with a hammer.

The Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Department said Danny Glover, 52, was arrested on July 12 on the misdemeanor charge. He was released on a $1,000 bond.

Glover allegedly wanted to put down the horse because it had a broken pelvis. Glover's girlfriend said he was just trying to euthanize the animal and did not know it was going to go so badly.

He is accused of shooting the horse several times on July 1. But the horse got away and caused property damage to a neighbor's residence before Glover recaptured it. The horse died a short time later and was buried on Glover's land.
