They both live together.
Severino Cruz's son, Nick Cruz, 8, was bitten by a pet pitbull named Baby on Sunday. Severino was at work when the dog, belonging to Enrique, got loose and bit Severino's son.
Enrique took Nick to the hospital. Meanwhile, Severino found out what happened, grabbed a power drill and drilled the dog in the head more than a dozen times. The dog was not killed, but was severely injured.
Enrique found out what his brother did and reported it to the police.
Police investigated and found that the dogs were living under very poor conditions. It also seemed that they were suffering from malnutrition.
When police went to the house, they found another pitbull by the name of Coffee. The dog was taken by police, placed in a pound, and will be up for adoption shortly.
Severino was held yesterday on a $50,000 bond. He appeared in court today and his bond was reduced to $25,000. He's still incarcerated.
Enrique was given a $10,000 non-surety bond and was released yesterday. The court date is set for January 22nd.
