The story of a man who allegedly drove his pickup truck onto the frozen waters of the Toms River over the weekend has gone viral in the last two days, with outrage over the incident and the drowning death of the man's dog.

Earlier this afternoon, the New Jersey State Police announced that the driver will be charged with criminal mischief, pollution, and reckless driving. They also noted that SPCA charges are pending.

The story has resulted in an angry back and forth between social media users, people who say that they know the driver, officials, and media outlets, with conflicting information in a number of different places.

Either way, one thing that we can confirm for sure, directly from the official Twitter account of the NJ State Police, is the fact that charges have been issued.

We'll keep you updated as this story develops.
