ILLINOIS -- Three pit bull terrier puppies were found dead in a dumpster this weekend, and their owner is charged with misdemeanor cruel treatment of animals, law enforcement and county officials said Monday.
Nonie L. Roen, 31, of Rock Falls, was arrested in the 400 block of Martin Road at 11:43 a.m. Saturday, Rock Falls police said in a news release.
A passerby noticed the puppies in a dumpster near Martin Road and Dixon Avenue, and called police, Cmdr. Jay Koett said.
Whiteside County Animal Control Warden Vanessa Scott said she couldn't release specifics because the investigation is ongoing, but said she reacted in "plain disgust" to the news.
"Things like this shouldn't be happening; it shouldn't," Scott said. "People just have a different idea of how animals should be treated.
"When we find any type of neglect and abuse, we will prosecute," she added.
