An Arkansas man was busted on animal cruelty charges for allegedly dumping puppies at a local car wash using a box that had a shipping label with his personal information attached.
Jeremy Roberts, 20, was nabbed by police on Tuesday after the three two-month old pooches were found abandoned in a wash bay at Wagner Car Wash on Highway 18 in Manila, according to the Manila Police Department, K8 News reported.
Police were able to fast track their investigation after spotting a shipping label on the box that included Roberts’ name and address – later visiting his home.
“After talking with Roberts about the incident, he admitted to dumping the dogs,” Officer Ronald Amick told the outlet.
Roberts was charged with three counts of cruelty to animals, the outlet reported.
He was taken into police custody and then transported to the Mississippi County Sheriff’s Office.
He was later released on bond, the outlet reported.
