Authorities arrested a man on a charge of animal cruelty in Harris County after responding to a disturbance involving a dog. Deputies from Constable Mark Herman's Office were called to the 8400 block of FM 1960 Bypass Road West yesterday, where they discovered a distressed canine with an injured front leg.
The suspect, identified as DeAndre Lipscomb, was apprehended at the scene. Constable Mark Herman detailed the incident in a statement confirming Lipscomb's detention and charge.
