A man has been arrested by Winnemucca Police, charged with felony animal cruelty involving a puppy.
27-year-old Harden Lewis was taken into custody after an investigation including veterinarian medical evidence, according to a post from the Winnemucca Police Department on Facebook.
That evidence revealed that a puppy had sustained multiple rib fractures, some recent and some several weeks old.
Police say this variance in the ages of the injuries indicates ongoing physical abuse.
Anyone with information on animal abuse or neglect is urged to contact the Winnemucca Police Department at (775) 623-6396.
