EDGEWATER, Fla. – A man was arrested on charges of animal cruelty after he shot a duck with a bow and arrow, according to the Edgewater Police Department.

Officers responded Sunday to a small body of water along Mango Tree Lane, where a witness said they saw a man shoot a Muscovy duck with a compound bow and arrow, according to an arrest report.

The witness said he attempted to help the injured duck but was unsuccessful. Officers located 23-year-old Walter Rieves nearby and he said he only had one arrow left in his bow when he asked a passerby if it was illegal to shoot a duck, investigators said.

After the stranger told him it was not illegal to shoot a duck, Rieves shot an arrow, striking and injuring the duck, police said.
