Motley Jr. told police he dragged his German shepherd down the street behind his car because he was "tired of that (expletive) running away." But two people who witnessed the scene last August said the sight sickened them. "Very inhumane, very evil," said Kendra Robinson, 33, of Flint, describing the type of person who would do such a thing.

Morris, was another motorist who saw the dog running behind Motley's vehicle, trying to keep up. "He ran until he couldn't run anymore," Gallup said of the elderly male dog, which fell at least once. "I got sick to my stomach," he said after seeing the dog fall. "That's something I don't want to see again." Police and witnesses said the dog was secured to Motley's truck on a 5-foot leash. The dragging left the animal with all four legs scrapped to the bone in several spots. On Friday, Motley, 57, of Flint, pleaded no contest to killing or torturing animals, a 4-year felony. Motley waived a preliminary examination before Flint District Judge Nathaniel C. Perry III, who accepted the plea under a program that allows district court judges to accept felony pleas.
