LOUISVILLE, Ky. — WARNING: The contents of this story may be disturbing for some viewers.
Louisville Metro Police have canceled their request to locate the man accused of animal cruelty.
Prince Woodson turned himself in and was transported to the jail for booking according to police.
According to LMPD, Woodson had a warrant out for his arrest for "cruelty to animals, second degree." Police say the charge is only a Class A misdemeanor, however, "the details of this case are alarming."
"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 and we will never share that video with the public," police said on social media.
Earlier this month, the University of Louisville confirmed it was investigating an incident regarding a UofL student posting graphic animal abuse videos online. The university later said LMPD was taking over the investigation.
Woodson was arraigned on Wednesday. He was charged with two counts of second-degree cruelty to animals.
A judge set his bond at $35,000 and ordered he have no contact with any animals and no social media.
Woodson will be back in court on May 4.
