According to the police report, the owner called police saying there was a man in the Wells Street area with a firearm, and that he had bludgeoned her dog to death.
Grysko didn't return telephone messages. According to police, Grysko at first denied beating the dog, and then admitted to burying it in the snow bank, and showed officers where he had put the dog.
Grysko is due in Brattleboro District Court on April 1 to answer to charges of aggravated cruelty to animals.
Bemis couldn't be reached for comment Wednesday, and Bellows Falls Police Chief Ron Lake said he had no knowledge about the case.

Grysko, the accused, decided that he couldn’t take living any longer so he took his own life.
Edward Grysko, a 61-year-old Westminster man accused of striking a Parson Russell terrier dog and burying it alive in the snow last week, is thought to have committed suicide Wednesday morning, police said.
Grysko decided to end his life, in part, because of his arrest in the highly publicized animal cruelty case, police said.
Grysko was found behind his work place, General Truck and Equipment in Westminster, with a gunshot wound to the head, police said; a handgun and suicide note were left behind.
The type of gun and note’s content were not disclosed. State police did not return a call seeking comment Wednesday evening.
Grysko was “depressed and despondent” over his arrest in the animal cruelty case and the untimely death of his youngest son, which occurred two years ago, police learned through interviews with family and friends.
Grysko faced aggravated animal cruelty charges for beating the 14-year-old Parson Russell terrier early last week; according to police, he said he was angered because the dog “nipped at somebody.”(via Pet-Abuse.com)
