A Parma woman was arrested Sunday afternoon after leaving her puppy inside her vehicle while she attended Cedar Point.
SANDUSKY, Ohio - A Parma woman was arrested Sunday afternoon after leaving her puppy inside her vehicle while she attended Cedar Point . According to Sandusky Police Department records, officers were dispatched to a Cedar Point parking lot for a complaint of a dog locked in a vehicle.
When officers arrived, they discovered a small German Shepard puppy, estimated to be 4 to 6 months old based on its size, locked inside a Honda SUV. Sandusky Police said it was also noted that the National Weather Service listed temperature outside at 83 degrees, with a heat index of 85 degrees.
From the outside of the vehicle, officers could feel the heat emanating through the slightly open windows, and the puppy was curled on the rear passenger-side floorboard excessively panting. The police report stated that the passenger-side windows were only rolled down between 1 to 1.5 inches. Officers said no water could be seen anywhere inside the vehicle for the dog, and due to this, they determined that entry into the vehicle would be necessary to remove the dog.
When running the plates to the vehicle, officers attempted to call the owner, listed as Courtney Jones, multiple times but had no response. Cedar Point maintenance arrived to help officers gain access to the vehicle and removed the dog, providing it with immediate access to water. Sandusky Police said when removing the dog, officers said it was still panting heavily and was extremely warm to the touch.
Using security footage, police were able to locate the vehicle and the four occupants who arrived at the park and gain a description of those inside the vehicle. An officer took a picture of the four occupants and went inside the park to locate them, the report said. While attempting to locate the four occupants of the vehicle, the officer located a group who matched the description and made contact with the suspected driver.
Officers said she identified herself as Briana Jones, 22, of Parma, and she admitted to driving the Honda SUV and leaving the dog inside. Jones was removed from the park and transported to the Erie County Sheriff’s Office, where she was served with her charge of cruelty to animals.
