A woman has been arrested in connection with two dogs that were “severely malnourished,” according to an arrest affidavit.
Irma Elva Sanchez, 67, was charged with two counts of cruelty to non-livestock animals, fail to provide, a Class A misdemeanor that carries a punishment of up to one year in jail, a $4,000 fine or both.
Webb County Jail records show that Sanchez is out on bond.
The case unfolded at about 4:43 a.m. Thursday, when a Laredo police officer responded to a cruelty to animals call in the 4500 block of Christine Lane. An animal control officer stated to police that she had arrived at the residence to check on a gray pitbull that was chained up by the front of the home.
