An investigation determined that after being evicted from their upstairs apartment the Waldruffs allegedly abandoned their pet beagle and her 4 new puppies without food or water inside the locked apartment causing extreme dehydration. Both were issued tickets returnable to the Town of North Norwich Court on September 14th.
