LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A man wanted in an alleged animal cruelty case has turned himself in, according to Louisville Metro Police.
In a social media post Tuesday afternoon, LMPD said an arrest warrant had been issued for Prince Woodson for Cruelty to Animals 2nd Degree, which is technically a Class A misdemeanor, but the department said the case is so alarming it is asking for the public's help in finding him.
Police said in the post, "We're alleging that Mr. Woodson placed a live baby chicken in either an air fryer or a stove and cooked the chick until its death. We're alleging he live-streamed this event which we will never share that video with the public."
In an email update just after 8 p.m., LMPD said Woodson, 21, had turned himself in and was being transported to Metro Corrections where he was booked around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Earlier this month, the University of Louisville confirmed that a student was being investigated for alleged animal cruelty that included graphic videos posted on social media. The university said the LMPD had taken over the investigation.
