Texas: Odessa Woman, Sara Losoya, Arrested in Connection to Animal Cruelty Case

TEXAS -- Odessa Police made an arrest connected to an animal cruelty case, where a puppy was found doused in lighter fluid with burns to her ears.

Sara Losoya faces a False Report to a Police Officer, a Class B misdemeanor charge.

On February 1, officers found the injured dog in the 4700 block of Golder. The next day, reports show Losoya told Odessa Animal Control she found the puppy at that location and put it in her backyard to keep it.

Through the investigation, Officers determined Losoya lied about where she found the puppy and actually discovered the dog near her home in the 900 block of Edgeport. Losoya also admitted to OPD she put the puppy in her back yard and her other dogs nipped at it.

 

Detectives then obtained a false report warrant for Losoya.

At this time, it's unknown how the puppy was injured.
