A client was arrested and charged with felony Animal Cruelty charges after officers believed he killed a nuisance animal inappropriately. However, it was proper to hunt the animal, it was the proper hunting season for the animal, and the client was a licensed hunter in the state of Georgia. Further, the animal was killed in a manner that was primitive but not illegal. Mr. Cowan filed a demurrer challenging the sufficiency of the indictment, and he filed a motion to dismiss based on the fact that the client was a lawful hunter. The State (eventually) dismissed the felony charges, and the client paid a fine under an ordinance violation. The felony arrest was then restricted from the client's criminal record.
