So sad and awful:
PALM BAY, Fla. -- A Brevard County man reportedly attacked a Palm Bay veterinarian after learning that his dog died during a routine surgery.
Police say 60-year-old Samuel Winstead dropped his pet schnauzer off for routine surgery on Friday, and the animal died. When Winstead came to the clinic to pick up the dog, witnesses told police that he pulled a knife and started to choke the doctor. He eventually stopped and left but reportedly threatened to come back and kill the doctor.
Police responded to the clinic and stopped Winstead's car a short time later. He was charged with aggravated assault and battery.
