Troy woman charged in brutal case of animal cruelty
Elisa Sumner (Albany County D.A.'s Office)
A Troy woman is accused of killing a dog in Albany County.
Elisa Sumner was arraigned Monday on a five-count indictment, accusing her of aggravated cruelty to animals, and torturing animals.
The district attorney says back in August, Sumner intentionally killed a German shepherd named Nala, with no justifiable purpose.
The indictment also alleges Sumner also failed to feed four other dogs, and kept them in a home covered in urine, feces and garbage.
Sumner was released on probation, and is no longer allowed to own any animals.
