A Florida man has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for beating his employer's dog to death with a tire iron after the two had a fight. Kevin Koscielniak, 52, of Sarasota, pleaded no contest to six charges, including animal cruelty and armed burglary. He also must serve five years probation and he is banned from contacting the dog's owners. Authorities say John Olaya, owner of John's Automotive reported his 4-year-old mastiff Ashton missing in April. After reviewing surveillance video, Olaya told deputies that he saw Koscielniak kill his dog in a vicious beating that lasted 10 minutes. The owner said Koscielniak had been asked to leave the Sarasota car repair shop a day earlier after causing a disturbance.
