Dog starved, frozen to death
Middletown, NY (US)

Incident Date: Saturday, Nov 30, 2002
County: Orange

Disposition: Acquitted

Person of Interest: Darin G. Brown

Case Updates: 1 update(s) available

Darin Brown's emaciated dog was frozen to it's doghouse and had to be cut from the doghouse before it could be cremated.  Darin Brown also allegedly failed to provide veterinary care for the dog while it was alive.

The first time he went to court the judge that was supposed to hear the case said that he had to exclude himself from the case because Darin Brown had contacted him personally prior to his court date and because he knew Darin Brown personally as a fine and upstanding citizen in the community.  As a result, he would have to turn the case over to Judge Schwarts.

Brown pleaded "not guilty."
