Glouco man arrested in sale of sick puppies
The Franklinville Police Department, working with the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, arrested a man Saturday for selling puppies with contagious diseases, according to officials.
Police served a warrant at the home of William C. Roberts, 57, of Franklinville, after multiple complaints and an NJSPCA investigation linked Roberts to the sale of several sick dogs, officials said.
Police found puppies in the home's basement, inside a closet, and in cages, officials said.
Twenty-seven puppies were removed and taken to Columbus Animal Hospital for examination. Roberts was arrested and is being charged with willfully selling animals with contagious diseases, as well as failure to provide necessary sustenance.
Anyone who may have purchased a dog from Roberts is encouraged to contact the NJSPCA at (800) 582-5979 or visit www.njspca.org
