NEW YORK -- Only a day after two people who neglected their dog in their basement returned to court, a woman in Royalton was arrested on animal cruelty charges.

State troopers were called in to assist Niagara County’s SPCA in an arrest on Mary V. Allesandro, after she was observed allegedly neglecting her dog.

Allesandro was arraigned in Royalton’s Town Court and is in Niagara County Jail in lieu of bail which was set at $500.
