The couple accused of abusing a pit bull puppy were back in court on Wednesday.

Christopher Maxwell is accused of dousing a pit bull puppy with gasoline and lighting the dog on fire inside its crate. It is not clear whether the dog was already dead when it was in the crate. A necropsy was set to be performed.

Latisha Ellis co-owned the dog with Maxwell.

They were offered plea deals and given two weeks to accept or reject those offers.
