ABILENE, Texas -- An Abilene man accused of stabbing his 14-week-old puppy 11 times is facing felony animal cruelty charges as well as a motion to revoke his probation.

Larry Dollins Jr. is now accused of violating his probation no less than 20 times.

The motion to revoke his probation indicates that Dollins admitted to using meth on the day the stabbing took place, as well as three days leading up to it.

When he allegedly tried to kill his puppy last weekend, he was halfway through a 10-year probation for a previous drug conviction.

"He had issues with drugs in the past, so I think he got on meth. I believe it was meth," said neighbor Robert Thompson.

Dollins neighbors told KTXS News that they could tell he wasn't behaving normally.

"It was at a point where he should have gotten help, and someone should have saw that and attended to that," Thompson said.

In fact, when the attack happened, Dollins was under the highest level of probation surveillance Taylor County has.

Mike Wolfe, the director of the Community Supervision and Corrections Department, said this meant Dollins was meeting with a probation officer regularly.

"Five face-to-face contacts a week with the officer, at least two in the office and three at home," Wolfe said.

He was also submitting to regular drug tests and curfew checks.

"Anything that gives us reasonable suspicion to drug test, we will drug test," Wolfe said.

The problem is that a drug dependency is not a predictor of violence, of which Dollins is now accused.

"As far as a person with a non-violent history, there's not a predictor that I'm aware of," Wolfe said.

The motion to revoke probation also alleges that Dollins broke his probation by smoking marijuana, hanging out in bars and failing to make curfew.
