MARSHALL, Texas (KLTV) – The dog recuperated from a man detained for animal cruelty on Wednesday is anticipated to recuperate.
A cops report said that the dog coming from Jacob Edwards, 30, of Marshall, will not be gone back to the man after it recuperates. Edwards was detained on Wednesday after an officer and 2 witnesses saw Edwards hang the dog from the entryway of a Marshall business and enable the door to close on the animal. The witnesses likewise reported seeing Edwards kick the dog “with force,” and presumably heard him discuss routinely beating the animal.
The report said that the dog is anticipated to recuperate, and is not available for adoption at this time.
“The swift action of the witnesses and the responding officers saved this animal from further suffering,” Marshall Police Chief Cliff Carruth said. “We encourage people to call police if they see something like this.”
Edwards was booked into the Harrison County Jail on a charge of cruelty to non-livestock animals on a bond of $3,000.
