Dead Dog In Hotel Room Leads To Animal Cruelty Charges For VA Pair: Sheriff Employees at a Stafford hotel made a horrific discovery while cleaning one of the rooms: A dead dog. The dog's owners, Ashanta Lyle, 20, and Khalil Lyle, 26, were charged with felony animal cruelty on Thursday, May 12, after the dog's body was found in a crate in a room at the Affordable Suites of America, the Stafford County Sheriff's Office said. Deputies collected the 3-year-old Feist mix April 8, and sent it for testing. It's unclear how the dog died or how long it had been deceased when workers found it.  A magistrate released the owners on an unsecured bond.
