Animal Cruelty Charges For Abandoning Pets

NEW YORK -- A Glens Falls woman has been charged with six misdemeanors in relation to allegedly abandoning two dogs and a cat.

Margaret L. Center, 48, now of Elm St., was arrested following an investigation by the SPCA of Upstate New York at Queensbury who said that Center left the animals behind at a Fourth St. home when she moved.

 

Center has been charged with failure to provide sustenance; overdriving, torturing and injuring animals and abandonment of animals.  She was also ticketed for having two unlicensed dogs.

She left the animals without food, police said, and deprived the cat of medical care.

She will appear at a later date in Glens Falls City Court.
