KALAMAZOO,
Mich. – A
Michigan woman says she's no longer facing a misdemeanor after being arrested
for failing to renew a license for her dog.
Becky Rehr says she drove to the
Kalamazoo County sheriff's office on June 23 to prove she'd renewed the license
for the family's 11-year-old dog, Dexter.
She was then arrested, fingerprinted and
held for three hours as her 14-year-old daughter waited in the car.
Rehr told the Kalamazoo Gazette
(http://bit.ly/1S5mvM6 ) the charge was dismissed at prosecutors' request
Monday.
County animal control officials say
Rehr, of Cooper Township, was given numerous mail, phone and in-person warnings
after Dexter's license expired March 1. The last phone call warned that a
warrant would be requested unless she got a $10 license by May 28.
Michigan law requires that dogs be
licensed.
