The charges stem from an incident on Friday when three people were walking their dogs on a marked trail in the Knights Pond Preserve in North Yarmouth. The dogs were walking approximately 20 feet ahead of their owners when one of them was shot and killed. The owners of the dog had a brief encounter with the shooter, but he quickly fled the scene.
