A Long Island man is accused of felony animal cruelty after police say he fatally stabbed his family's pit bull.
Suffolk County police say 35-year-old Lamont Yarborough stabbed the pit bull multiple times inside he family's home in Middle Island. Police and officers from the Suffolk Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals were called to the home at about 5:15 Tuesday morning.
