· KRGV (NBC 5)
A 22-year-old man, Gilbert Ivarra Jr., was arrested in Elsa and charged with three counts of animal cruelty after police discovered 15 dogs in poor living conditions at his property on Ricky Crossland Avenue. The dogs were found tied up and in cramped cages, with some lacking access to water. The Elsa Police Department emphasized the importance of reporting animal abuse, as animals cannot advocate for themselves. Following a community tip, the dogs were removed and are now being cared for by a local resident. Ivarra was booked and released on a $15,000 bond.
