(March 7, 2008)—FBI agent Lovett Leslie Ledger, Jr., 39, of Lorena surrendered Friday morning to McLennan County authorities and was charged with animal cruelty in the shooting death of a Central Texas family’s pet dog.
The complaint stems from a McLennan County Sheriff’s Office investigation of the dog’s death on Feb. 29.
According to the arrest affidavit, Ledger told a witness that he shot the gun with a pump bb/pellet gun and said he, “must have pumped the gun up too much.”
The 3-to-4 pound Chihuahua was walking on Estes Road in front of its home when it was shot once.
It ran into the yard of one of Ledger’s neighbors, where it died.
Sources told News Ten Ledger is a sniper and a member of an FBI SWAT team.
The FBI in Austin earlier confirmed that an agent was under investigation, but didn’t identify the agent by name.

this scum got 2 years probation and 300 hrs community service and no conviction on his record if successfully completed.Exactly why do we need to shoot a 3 lb dog?
I happen to be an FBI employee and have reported this to the people who handle internal disciplinary matters...although they probably already know about it. This jerk is a disgrace and does not represent the otherwise great men and women of the Bureau. He should resign or be fired.
The FBI HRT is comprised of bedwetting sissies that only know how to attack women, children and pets.
