State Police in Washington County were called shortly after 5 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 12, with reports of an abandoned vehicle blocking traffic in the town Granville on Dublin Road.
When troopers arrived, they found an “obviously emaciated” dog tethered inside the car, according to police. The animal had no access to food or water.
The dog was taken by the Washington County Animal Control for treatment. No further information was provided on the animal’s condition.
Investigators determined the car belonged to Priscilla Lancaster, of Moreau in Saratoga County. She was arrested later Thursday on the following charges:
- Overdriving, torturing, and injuring animals/failure to provide sustenance
- Abandonment of animals
Lancaster was issued an appearance ticket to the Granville Town Court on Monday, Feb. 13, and was later released.
