Nine fish died after an enraged boyfriend dumped liquid cleaner into his girlfriend’s fish tank during a fight Sunday at her apartment, Murfreesboro Police reported.

Boyfriend William Michael Tyler, 30, of Estill Springs, Tenn., was charged with domestic assault from the fight Sunday and an earlier domestic assault, both with girlfriend Brittney Megan Crownover listed as the victim, Officer James Thomason reported.

A neighbor notified police about the argument between Tyler and Crownover at her South Rutherford Boulevard apartment. Crownover told police Tyler drank alcohol and they began arguing.

“According to Ms. Crownover, William, also in his moment of rage, poured a bottle of Formula 409 cleaning agent into Ms. Crownover’s fish tank, killing nine of her fish,” Thomason reported. The fish were valued at $200.

She accused him of grabbing her around her throat and holding her down on the floor, the officer reported.

Crownover’s roommate, Jamaka Hedrick, saw Tyler get off of Crownover just before he ran out the apartment door.

Police located Tyler and booked him into Rutherford County Adult Detention Center. A hearing was set Nov. 20 in General Sessions Court.

I didn't see where he was charged with killing the fish.Are fish not considered like a pet like a dog or cat?

Not sure. The State issues Fishing Licenses so you can catch and kill fish but I don't think it issues dog or cat license.

Is there not anything more important to report in this City? If they wrote an article everytime my children had dead fish while they were growing up...I guess this would be a PETA issue.

This is not (entirely) a PETA issue.
This is an issue of domestic violence.
This sort of man will attack helpless animals, children and his partner to exert power and fear.
If your children killed thier fish by pouring in a bottle of cleaner like this, perhaps you should seek help.

Why is this domestic violence? According to the article he doesn't live with the girlfriend.

I find it sad and disturbing that you are more concerned about the dead fish than you are about the girl that was assaulted.

When this happened to me it was one of the worst times in my life and all of a sudden finding this online is horrible.especially when you google your name and this pops up not something to be proud about and i think anyone who hurts animals or has a drinking problem should def seek help i was abused more than just once and i shouldve put a stop to it before it go this far.
