A woman has been charged with aggravated cruelty to animals following the death of a severely neglected dog. Responding to an anonymous tip, officers discovered a dog in critical condition on a porch, exhibiting visible signs of starvation, including protruding ribs, hips, and spine. The animal also lacked basic necessities like food, water, and shelter.

Cynthia R. Dollman, one of the occupants of the residence, faces multiple charges, including aggravated cruelty and neglect of animals. The investigation is ongoing, with no further charges filed at this time.
