""I haven't had the money, because I had a job, I don't have a job anymore, [I'm] under a lot of stress because my girlfriend is pregnant," Preeper said in body camera video, according to the media outlet."
""During the initial traffic stop, officers took steps to ensure the dog immediately received veterinary care," police said in a statement. "Investigators then conducted a thorough follow-up investigation, including documenting the dog's condition, gathering veterinary reports, and conducting follow-up interviews. During that investigation, West Bridgewater Police developed probable cause to charge Preeper.""
""significantly underweight dog""
Police stopped the vehicle after an alleged red-light violation and observed a significantly underweight dog inside the car. The nine-month-old pug-mix named Sprout was transported to an emergency veterinary hospital and received urgent care for severe malnourishment. Investigators determined the dog belonged to the driver, who initially claimed to have found the animal the night before but later allegedly admitted to owning the puppy for at least six months and being unable to properly care for her. The driver cited financial and personal stress and surrendered the dog. Police documented the dog's condition, gathered veterinary reports, conducted follow-up interviews, and developed probable cause to file felony animal cruelty charges.
