 The Colerun police received a tip at approximately 10 this morning that a female in a black Jeep Cherokee had set two puppies out at a shopping center at Weddington Branch. The caller said the person actually ran over one of the puppies as she drove away from the scene. Colerun police chief Jason Ray said that person is now facing criminal charges. Right now I'm looking at at least curled at animal second degree, which is just a misdemeanor, but that's still be left unto the county attorney probably the problem. You know any further charges, but at the minimum at least that it just even though it's misdemeanor I think it's worth pursuing just because of the case on the little puppies being left and then run over. The puppies are currently under the treatment of veterinarian Dr. Dustin Anderson in Pikeville. His office tells me the dogs are being treated, but are in stable condition. Anyone with information on the identity of the person who allegedly abandoned the puppies is asked to contact the Colerun police department at 606-437-0902. Callers of course can remain anonymous.
