Bail lowered for accused dog abuser
NORWICH – Tracy A. Price, the woman accused of leaving a dog tied to a stove for multiple days without food and water, saw her bail lowered by $250 when she appeared in Norwich City Court on Thursday, Aug. 18.
It is alleged that Price tied a dog to a stove for multiple days with a leather shoelace. When authorities arrived on the scene, they said that the dog allegedly had a laceration to its neck, and was covered in urine and feces.
Price, who has had a warrant out for her arrest since Sep. 2015, also owes restitution to a local business in a separate matter, in the amount of $256.56. She currently stands charged with the class A misdemeanor of torturing/injuring animals; failure to provide proper sustenance, under the Agriculture and Markets law of the State of New York.
The Honorable Judge James E. Downey said that this is the first arrest on Ms. Price's record. “She has a clean rap sheet, let's not get crazy here,” he said.
Assistant District Attorney Laura Parker, who represented the people of Chenango County in the matter, stated, “(The people) object to releasing her. It took us a year to get her in here (to court).”
John Cameron, who was assigned to represent Price, argued that she should be released on her own recognizance, as he believed she was not a flight risk due to having children in the area. However, Cameron's argument was quickly shot down by Judge Downey, who reiterated how he had to sign a warrant for her arrest last September after she left New York State.
Cameron waived a reading of the charges, and entered a not guilty plea on behalf of his client, before Judge Downey lowered the defendant's bail to $500 cash, or $1,000 bond.
Price is scheduled to reappear in court on Tuesday, Aug. 22, at 10 a.m.
