GENEVA \u2014 A city man is accused of abandoning his dog at the Geneva Bark Park.<\/p>\n
The Ontario County Humane Society said May 4 that Vincent P. Wozlonis, 46, was charged with animal abandonment, a class A misdemeanor.<\/p>\n
The humane society said the agency, along with the Geneva Police Department, investigated an animal abandonment incident at the Geneva Bark Park April 21. A Geneva police officer observed a brown-and-white female pit bull mix named Jasmine, wearing a pink collar inside the park by herself.<\/p>\n
According to the humane society, the dog was secured by the officer, who also spoke to a witness who reported seeing a white male walking the dog down the middle of Exchange Street and then placing her inside the fenced-in area of the park.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the assistance of a witness description, this male was identified as Mr. Wozlonis,\u201d the humane society said.<\/p>\n
The humane society said Wozlonis appears to have abandoned Jasmine because he was not allowed to have pets in his apartment.<\/p>\n
He was given an appearance ticket for City Court and released.<\/p>\n
The humane society said Jasmine has a pending adoption and is in good health.<\/p>\n
The Ontario County Sheriff\u2019s Office also assisted with the investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"GENEVA \u2014 A city man is accused of abandoning his dog at the Geneva Bark Park.
