KANSAS -- A Wichita Falls woman was jailed after police found an emaciated dead dog in her yard.
Amber Nicole Ramirez, 32, was booked early Tuesday on a charge of cruelty to non livestock animals.
Police spokesperson Brandie Banda said police and animal control officers were called to a home in the 1600 block of 22nd Street Nov. 11 where they found a dead dog lying against a fence.
The dog was emaciated had there was no sign of food, water or shelter. No one was at home at the time.
Several days later, investigators made contact with Ramirez, who gave them differing stories on what happened to the animal, Banda said.
By that time, the dead dog had been placed in a trash bag, but was still in the property.
Neighbors told the investigators the dog, a pit bull mix 3 to 4 months old, had laid in the yard Nov. 7-11 without food or water. Ramirez later admitted she had left the dog tied in the yard.
Ramirez’ bail was set at $5,000 and she was in the Wichita County Jail Tuesday.
