Man Accused of Animal Cruelty and Threats | Fargo News

A chilling case in Mahnomen County: Lyman Weaver, 44, faces multiple felony charges after allegedly threatening a woman with a knife over alcohol, then brutally killing two of her pets and seriously injuring a third. The victim was locked out of her home, heard animal cries, and found a kitten dead outside — while police discovered blood-soaked floors and a dog with stab wounds. Another dog died from multiple stabs; the surviving one was euthanized at her request. Weaver, who already had an active arrest warrant, was caught hiding in a camper on his mom’s property. With prior felony convictions for assault and escape, this is just the latest in a pattern of violent behavior — and authorities are now pursuing charges including animal torture and threats of violence.
