At about 1:05 p.m. on Thursday, the Fremont Police Department arrested Janelle C. Winners, 24, on suspicion of felony animal cruelty.
The arrest was a result of an investigation that started Sept. 11 after Fremont Police Community Service Officers seized a 1-year-old black Labrador mix from Winners’ residence after the dog was found emaciated, lethargic and covered in urine and fecal matter.
The dog is in recovery at the Nebraska Humane Society. If convicted, Winners faces incarceration and pet ownership restrictions.
