A Menominee man pled guilty to animal cruelty and neglect
MENOMINEE -- A Menominee man, charged with animal cruelty and neglect, has been sentenced to two months in jail.
Jeremy Goodlet, 37, entered a guilty plea to the misdemeanor charge on Monday.
Goodlet was accused of abandoning six puppies. Last November, officers retrieved the puppies from a plastic bag in a dumpster behind a gas station. The puppies were still alive but had to be euthanized because of hypothermia.
Goodlet claimed the puppies were born outside when he was not home. He said the puppies were cold and not moving.
In addition to two months in jail, he'll have to pay restitution for the humane society costs. He was also put on probation for one year, cannot own a pet during that time, and also forfeits his ownership rights to the mother of the puppies.
