TENNESSEE -- A 45-year-old Trimble man accused of cruelty to animals was not prosecuted in Dyer County Circuit Court on March 17.
Michael Robertson, 45, 35 Gin St., had been accused of neglecting to feed and provide medical care for his dog, a bulldog mix.
When the dog was confiscated April 7, 2008, it reportedly suffered from undernourishment and severe infestations of hookworms, roundworms and heartworms. The dog died on April 15, 2008 - barely a week after being rescued.
Robertson insisted he had provided the dog with medical care.
