The Cordele man accused of fatally stabbing his neighbor’s dog during a burglary last month has been charged in another break-in.

Police only had to look across the street from the victim’s house to find 27-year-old John Frank Dunlap, who is charged with the Aug. 21 burglary of Michael Shirah’s house that he shared with his beloved toy poodle, Sheila. The 8 pound, 4 ounce curly-haired, brown dog was repeatedly stabbed with scissors inside the small house on East Seventh Avenue and discarded in a dirty clothes hamper in the bathroom.

Cordele Police Chief Dwayne Orrick said the public’s response helped crack the case. “We’re very appreciative of the people calling us with information,” Orrick said. “I’m really proud we were able to bring this case to closure.”

Armed with a search warrant for Dunlap’s house, investigators found a stainless steel stove and refrigerator taken in another burglary on Juniper Street on July 26, said Sgt. Jeremy Taylor, public information officer of the Cordele Police Department.
