Town reports $535 in veterinary bills for seized dog; supervisor asks court to order restitution
Summary
The town paid $535 in veterinary care for an animal taken into custody; Supervisor James Monty said the animal's owner faces an animal-cruelty charge and the town will ask the court to require restitution because the cost was not budgeted.
Under the Animal Control agenda item the board recorded that the town incurred $535.00 in veterinary bills for a dog it had picked up. Supervisor James Monty said the dog's owner has a court date on an animal-cruelty charge and that the town intends to ask the court to require restitution to cover the veterinary cost because it was not included in the town budget.
The minutes do not record the defendant’s name or the court date beyond the notation that charges have been filed. The board did not record a vote on pursuing civil restitution; Monty stated his expectation that the court ordering restitution would be appropriate given the unbudgeted expense.
