January 10 Independence police arrested Tracy Lee Newton, 43, Carrollton on a Livingston County arrest warrant for 2 class D felony counts of Animal Abuse.
This stems from an investigation by the LCSO and Livingston County Humane Society allegedly involving 10 grossly emaciated pit bulls that were located in Wheeling.
Even with these arrests the LCSO is continuing with this investigation.
