Two people in Grundy County were arrested over the weekend for cruelty to animals. 27 year-old Greg Cunningham and 22 year-old Veronica Packard both of Tracy City were arrested Saturday after deputies responded to a call at their residence.
The rescued dog was placed in the care of a third party. Both were released on bond and have an initial court date of January 10, 2019. Grundy County Sheriff Clint Shrum reminds the public that both parties are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. He added that if anyone in Grundy County suspicions animal cruelty to please call the sheriff’s office in Altamont at (931) 692-3466. The sheriff added that with no animal control or pound in Grundy County, they have to rely on services from other communities.
