AR-News: (US-tn)Man's animal cruelty charges dropped

[Animalconcerns]

A case has been dismissed against a Houston County man charged in November
with animal cruelty.

Charges against Sydney B. Warden, who gave a Tennessee Ridge address, were
returned from a grand jury as a no true bill, meaning the case will not
move forward to a trial. No decision has been made on whether the case
will be presented to the grand jury at a later date, said Carey Thompson,
assistant district attorney for the 23rd Judicial District.

"It's kind of up in the air," Thompson said.

Warden was charged Nov. 6 with having two dead dogs and three puppies in a
dog pen, according to court documents. The puppies were alive, but a
neighbor had reported that Warden had not properly cared for the dogs.
