Augusta (WQOW) -- An Augusta teen faces felony animal abuse charges after investigators say he shot three farm animals with arrows.

Jordan Strasser, who's 18, told investigators he bought a new bow and wanted to see what it would be like to shoot something with it. Stasser told deputies he and a friend drove around the Augusta area in February and shot at sheep and horses.
