CRIME LOG: Dog Left in Hot Car Leads to Cruelty Charge

David Pouliotte, 63, of Great East Lane in Sanbornville, received a summons at 12:16 p.m. on June 16, for cruelty to animals. An officer was called to North Main Street near the Statehouse for a report of a dog left in a Toyota Prius. The officer found the vehicle and saw a small white dog that was awake but breathing heavily. The windows were opened by about two inches but the vehicle was “very warm” inside. The owner, Pouliotte, could not be located so the officer called a sergeant and the two decided to open the car and transfer the dog to the Pope Memorial SPCA. Pouliotte and his wife later arrived at the car and reportedly stated that the dog was in the car about a half an hour, not the entire two hours of the parking slip stamp. The officer countered that he had been at the car about 45 minutes and advised to leave the dog at home instead of leaving it in the car. Pouliotte reportedly said the dog was his wife’s and she didn’t like to leave it at home. He was served with a summons and had a court date on Aug. 4.

Asbury denied there was any condition in the order not to contact her. The officer asked if he received a copy of the order and he confirmed he had. An arrest warrant was taken out for Asbury and he was apprehended by Bethlehem Police and transferred to the Grafton County Jail, where the officer took custody of him. He was held without bail and arraigned on June 17.

Monette allegedly told one of the officers that there was Suboxone in her purse but she didn’t have a prescription at that time. “(An officer) opened the purse and I saw multiple spoons and needles inside,” the officer alleged, with one containing an off-white/amber colored liquid.
