A Madisonville man is behind bars after deputies say he shot and killed his neighbor over a dispute about a pet.

The violent incident happened in the early hours of Friday, November 21, Monroe County Sheriff Tommy Jones says.

Deputies arrested Gregory Scott Williams on Big Creek Road around 12:30am after finding Adam Ray McGill dead.

Investigators believe an argument over an animal belonging to McGill was what sparked the deadly dispute.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Mr. McGill during this difficult time," Sheriff Jones said.
