Local women face animal cruelty charges

Two Warren women face cruelty to animals charges for their alleged mistreatment of two six-month-old puppies — one of which died.

Hannah R. Sutliff, 21, reportedly of 323 Prospect St., Apt. B, and Elizabeth A. Sutliff, 42, of 323 Prospect St., Apt. A, each face two counts of aggravated cruelty to animals — causing serious bodily injury or death (felonies of the third degree); and two misdemeanor counts of cruelty to animals.

According to the affidavit of probable cause, a witness filed an animal cruelty report through Warren County humane officers, who reported the complaint at about 3 p.m. Aug. 26.

City of Warren Police and humane officers from Paws Along the River Humane Society responded to the scene with a search warrant less than two hours later, according to the affidavit. They were allowed into the basement by Elizabeth Sutliff, Hannah Sutliff’s mother.
