Bartlett police Friday arrested a village resident accused of animal cruelty and neglect leading to her dog’s death in October.
Sandra Bello, 40, of Bartlett was charged with cruelty to animals and violation of animal owners’ duties, both misdemeanors.
Officers responded Oct. 25 to a business on the 1000 block of Army Trail Road about 10:50 a.m. for a report of animal neglect.
After a more than two-month investigation, police say they found Bello failed to provide her dog necessary care and attention, causing its death.
Bello was released pending trial on Friday; her next court appearance is scheduled for Feb. 4 at the DuPage County courthouse in Wheaton.
