Huntington resident Earline Milligan, age 42, was charged by Suffolk County SPCA detectives with one count of animal cruelty, officials announced on Tuesday, May 31.

An investigation into reported animal abuse led to the arrest of Milligan, who is charged with neglecting the young pit bull mix who was in her care.

According to SPCA officials, Milligan allowed her dog, Simba, to become severely emaciated and to suffer from multiple infected open sores all over its body for a lengthy period without obtaining medical treatment, causing injury, pain, and suffering to the animal.

Milligan surrendered herself to police and is scheduled to make an appearance in First District Court in Central Islip on Thursday, June 16.
