SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA CO. (WOLF) — A Scranton man is facing numerous animal cruelty charges following an investigation earlier this year.
James Flores, 39, has been charged with seven counts of cruelty to animals and seven counts of animal neglect related to tethering, according to court records.
Authorities say the charges stem from an incident on February 22. Flores is accused of leaving several animals, including a dog and six puppies, inside a home on Division St. for more than a week without food or water.
Court documents show Flores’ case is currently active and awaiting a preliminary hearing, which is scheduled for May 4 before a magisterial district judge.
Investigators have not released additional details about the condition of the animals involved.
