Authorities said they observed blood on the porch and then discovered a dead puppy inside a trash can. Deputies said they received statements from witnesses that Jammy Hutchinson, 23, who lived at the residence, had killed the puppy outside, adding that the Ross County dog warden also was called to the scene for assistance.
The sheriff’s office said it made several attempts to locate Hutchinson over the weekend, but was unable to make contact. However, Hutchinson arrived at the sheriff’s office on Saturday, where he was arrested and charged with cruelty to animals.
Hutchinson was booked into the Ross County Jail pending his arraignment.
