Falcons fans didn’t need this kind of deja vu.
According to Tony Thomas of WSB in Atlanta, Falcons linebacker Prince Shembo has been accused of killing his girlfriend’s dog.
Gwinnett Police have filed animal cruelty charges, alleging that Shembo kicked and killed the animal.
Shembo was last year’s fourth-round pick from Notre Dame, and this isn’t the first time his name has been linked to an unseemly situation.
When he was at Notre Dame, he was accused of sexually assaulting a female student at nearby St. Mary’s College, who committed suicide.
