Aaron Jordan, 30, charged with letting 3 dogs starve to death

NEW YORK --  A Syracuse man was charged Tuesday with not providing food or water for three dogs, all of whom died as a result.

Aaron Jordan, 30, of 229 W. Corning Ave., began caring for the dogs on Nov. 12. The dogs were being held in cages outside 460 Shonnard St., Syracuse police Sgt. Richard Helterline said.

Police were called to the Shonnard Street residence on Nov. 21. There, officers found the three severely emaciated dogs dead in their cages, Helterline said. The dogs were found without any food or water.

Jordan was arrested at home Tuesday morning and charged with three counts of failure to provide proper sustenance, a misdemeanor. He was issued appearance tickets to City Court.

Jordan was also wanted on an unrelated warrant. Police did not elaborate on the other charge he was wanted on. Jordan was booked into the Onondaga County Justice Center, but has since been released.
