Ohio: Neglect of dog results in 48 days in jail for Medina man Randall Rees

OHIO -- State v. Randall Rees, a case we prosecuted for the Medina County SPCA in the Medina Municipal Court.

Defendant was convicted of companion animal neglect for failure to provide proper care of Kali, a 10 month old pit bull. Kali suffered from demodex mange and severe itching resulting in the loss of most of her fur.

Rees spent 42 days in jail for this offense. He is on probation for 3 years, and may serve another 48 days in jail if he violates the terms of his probation. Rees is also required to pay $290 restitution to the SPCA.
