Plea and sentencing hearings are on the schedule today for Indiana County Court, including one for a man charged with animal cruelty.
Zachary Tyler Yeager of Homer City is charged with aggravated cruelty to animals in connection with an investigation in November of last year. The 26-year-old man was one of three living at a home in the “00” block of North 2nd Street when police were informed of a dead dog on the premises, and said the dog had shown signs of neglect. Two additional dogs at the house showed similar neglect signs. The two dogs were taken into proper care.
Krista Lynn Yeager, who also lived at the house, pleaded guilty last February to animal cruelty and was ordered to serve a year of probation. A third suspect, Lailonie Dallas, is awaiting a criminal call hearing. She is facing a charge of aggravated cruelty to animals-torture.
