LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A judge has set bail at $50,000 for a man who was arrested after six dogs were found dead in a U-Haul on Tuesday night.
Las Vegas police were called after someone spotted an “unattended animal in distress” inside a vehicle in the 3100 block of North Tenaya Way, near Cheyenne Avenue.
When investigators arrived, they found six dead dogs in the back of the U-Haul.
Investigators also found six living dogs and three living cats.
Police arrested Christopher Robin Winter, who had keys to both of the vehicles the animals were found in, and he is facing six counts of torturing animals.
During court proceedings on Wednesday, a judge said Winter had previously been warned by law enforcement that he had too many animals.
His next hearing is set for June 17.
As for the living animals, they were taken to The Animal Foundation where they are still being evaluated as they go through the shelter process. That means that have gotten their intake shots, food, water, and bedding.
The animals will be placed on a hold while the investigation continues.
Their conditions haven’t been released, as of 2 p.m.
