A Dothan man is accused of pouring alcohol on a turtle and lighting it on fire on Wednesday.

Dothan police said James Terrance Allen broadcast the act via Facebook Live.

According to police, the video showed Allen pouring alcohol on a turtle and saying "give me 100 views and I'll light it."

After igniting the turtle, Allen went on to say "give me 200 views or this (expletive) is gonna die."

Numerous citizens reported the offense to Dothan police. Officers were able to locate Allen and take him into custody. He is charged with aggravated animal cruelty.

The turtle, who was named Leonardo, is expected to make a full recovery, police said. The turtle is now in the care of the Wiregrass Humane Society until it can be released back into the wild.
