A New Fairfield man is facing charges after police say he shot a dog. 67 year old Gary Benicewicz is now set to be arraigned Thursday on animal cruelty, firearm and reckless endangerment charges after police say he fatally shot a dog back in May. Benicewicz turned himself in on a warrant last week stemming from the incident in which police say he fatally shot the female dog in the head while walking on a residential street.
