The arraignment of a Grayslake area man accused of shooting a dog outside his home was delayed Wednesday in Lake County Circuit Court after he requested a new judge be assigned to his case.<\/p>\n

Elvin Dooley, 57, is charged with aggravated cruelty to animals, animal torture, possession of a weapon by a felon and possession of a weapon without a state Firearms Owner’s Identification card in the Jan. 26 incident.<\/p>\n

Dooley’s attorney, Assistant Public Defender Sharmilla Manek, requested the case be assigned to a judge other than Circuit Judge Victoria Rossetti.<\/p>\n

The case was reassigned to Associate Judge Theodore Potkonjak, and Dooley’s arraignment was rescheduled for Thursday.<\/p>\n

Police said Dooley fired repeatedly at a dog running in a field near his house in the 24000 block of Townline Road.<\/p>\n

The dog, which had run away from the Save-A-Pet No Kill Adoption Center where it had been abandoned, died of a single gunshot wound to the neck.<\/p>\n

An employee of the center was chasing the dog and told police she saw Dooley firing a rifle with a scope mounted on it from a window in his house.<\/p>\n

Police went to question Dooley about the shooting and discovered thousands of rounds of ammunition in his basement and garage.<\/p>\n

Dooley eventually led them to 17 firearms police say he is not allowed to possess because of a 1974 burglary conviction in Alabama.<\/p>\n

Assistant State’s Attorney Michael Mermel said Dooley faces up to 14 years in prison if convicted.<\/p>\n

He is held in the Lake County jail on $250,000 bond. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
