From Abilene, Texas, a man by the name of George Jones - not the deceased Country singer - decided to break the law and break into the local animal shelter.

According to the Abilene Police Department, Jones has admitted to breaking into the shelter, where he unlocked a bunch of the pet holding cages allowing the dogs to run free.
