Lee County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested 34-year-old Jade Green after her 5-year-old pit bull was found dead in her yard. Investigators said the dog was left for hours.
Detectives from the Animal Cruelty Task Force launched an investigation and learned the dog, a 5-year-old pit bull mix named Los, was tied to a pole in the backyard for several hours without food, water or shelter, authorities said.
"It sickens me that another defenseless animal was killed due to the incompetence of its owner," Sheriff Carmine Marceno said in a statement. "We will always protect those that cannot protect themselves."
