Charges Filed Against Bolingbrook Man in Neglected Dogs Case

Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow has filed animal cruelty charges against a Bolingbrook man alleging he knowingly starved nearly 30 dogs earlier this month.

Brian Q. Brown, 21, of the 400 block of New Town Court, was slapped with Class A misdemeanor cruel treatment of animals charges Wednesday afternoon. A release from Glasgow said Brown knowingly starved several dogs, including Irish terriers, a bulldog and a Doberman on or about June 11.

Brown also faces eight Class B misdemeanor owner’s duties charges for allegedly failing to provide humane care for the 27 dogs.

Terriers, bulldogs, Dobermans, Japanese chins and a Maltese are among the breeds named specifically in owner’s duties complaints, the release said.

A warrant has been issued for Brown’s arrest and a Will County judge has set bond with the warrant at $25,000.

Class A misdemeanors carry a penalty ranging from probation to one year in jail upon conviction. Class B misdemeanors carry a penalty of probation to six months in jail upon conviction.

A court date for Brown remains to be set.
