- Illinois, USA -
On the evening of Wednesday, May 25, deputies with the Cass County Sheriff’s Office responded to an address in the City of Virginia, after receiving a report of animal neglect.
The reporting party said that a male was using an object to beat a German Shepherd outside of his home.
An investigation yielded evidence that corroborated the allegations.
Furthermore, deputies uncovered additional facts showing that the furbaby had been mistreated days prior.
In connection with this case, deputies arrested 24-years-old ENRIQUE RANGEL (pictured), of 272 Sylvan Street, Virginia.
RANGEL is facing charges of animal torture and deception of animal cruelty and is being held in the Morgan County Jail.
The sheriff’s office did not release specifics about the case so I have emailed Cass County Sheriff Devron Ohrn and requested additional information.
If I get a response, I will post an update.
In a Facebook post, Sheriff Ohrn rightfully said: “It’s simple folks if you are not willing to properly care for your pets DONT HAVE A PET!!!!!!!!!!”
