Two Texas A&M students have been charged with cruelty to animals and criminal mischief for killing a horse in Bryan, Texas, reports The Bryan-College Station Eagle.

Kenneth Ryan Peterson, 21, and Walter Ray Williams, 20, were arrested two weeks ago, The Eagle reports. According to court documents, Williams told police the students were returning from a party at an adjacent apartment building when they chased and killed the horse in its pasture.

The Eagle reports that the two used a broken golf club, a knife, and a polo mallet to kill the horse, which Peterson said had chased him out of the pasture on a previous occasion.

Both students were indicted Thursday (Nov. 2). Each charge is a state felony, punishable with up to two years in prison and $1,500 to $20,000, The Eagle reports
