(KAIR) -- An Atchison man will head to a bench trial on an animal cruelty citation after pleading not guilty Wednesday morning in Atchison Municipal Court.
Brandon Johnson is scheduled to appear in the courtroom on June 5th.
Johnson was cited in late March for allegedly not taking proper care of a puppy and lizard located within his home.
Atchison County Undersheriff Joe Butner, who was traveling by Johnson’s home while off duty, discovered the puppy outside of Johnson’s residence, having bloodied paws and looking malnourished, which prompted him to notify Atchison Police.
When officers arrived and entered the home, they discovered a dead lizard inside and a kennel crate filled with blood and around two inches of feces.
The puppy was taken to the Atchison Humane Society, where he died on April 3rd.
