SURPRISE, Ariz. - A college baseball player is accused of beating a small javelina to death with a baseball bat in Surprise and police say video of the alleged crime was posted on Snapchat. Officers say the video footage led them to 20-year-old Roger Alexander, and they took him into custody on January 25. On Jan. 18, investigators say Alexander parked in the area of Bullard Avenue and Waddell Road with his headlights on, blinding the javelina. They say he got out of the vehicle with a baseball bat and batting gloves, then proceeded to hit the animal's head, killing it.
