Retired Marine Charles Clements Gets Probation for Killing Man Whose Dog Peed on His Lawn

Retired Marine Charles Clements Gets Probation for Killing Man Whose Dog Peed on His Lawn: "An Illinois judge has sentenced a retired U.S. Marine to four years of probation for killing a man whose dog urinated on his award-winning lawn.

Will County Judge Daniel Rozak made the ruling in the case this afternoon. As a result, Charles J. Clements, 69, will not serve any jail time for the May shooting of 23-year-old Joshua Funches, Chicago's NBC 5-TV reported.

Funches was walking his fox terrier in the Chicago suburb of University Park on May 9 when the dog urinated on Clements' front lawn, Will County prosecutors said. An argument between the two men ensued, during which Clements pulled out a .45-caliber handgun and pointed it at Funches, police say."
