Frankie Carl Nicholson, 64 of Rockmart, was arrested this week after he allegedly assaulted a woman’s dog with a knife.
Reports said that on March 5th, 2026 at approximately 0730 hours, officers were dispatched to a home on Wood Smoke Road. Upon arrival, officers made contact with the complainant, who stated that Nicholson was seen walking through her property. He was recorded coming up the driveway holding a knife, and he was visually seen walking through the back yard of the residence.
It wasn’t clear until the 911 call was placed that Nicholson allegedly assaulted their dog while on the property. The canine sustained a deep cut to its left leg. There was also signs of splattered blood on the front porch.
Nicholson is charged with aggravated cruelty to animals.
