The caller said the dog's owners were out of town, and the alleged incidents took place at their residence. She said her husband went outside Saturday and yelled at Paskel before he allegedly ran from the scene. Paskel was taken into custody at his home later that day. Case UpdatesJohn Paskel, 52, of 70204 Irwin St., Lafferty, pleaded guilty to two counts of public indecency and two counts originally filed as animal cruelty charges that were amended to criminal trespassing.
