Summary:
Stacy Elliott, dad of Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, was hit with 21 charges for the illegal purchase of an African wild cat that attacked a neighbor’s dog in Ohio. Stacy Elliott’s mid-sized, spotted feline — called a serval — was shot dead by authorities after the pooch attack on Oct. 12. The animal had been terrorizing the elder Elliott’s Canal Winchester neighborhood for two days before the fatal episode. He did not possess the proper permits to own the animal in Ohio.
