Officers said Friday morning that 37-year-old Erik McClinton was wanted on a misdemeanor charge of cruelty to an animal.

Prosecutors issue an arrest warrant for the owner of a dog stuck in an unsecured kennel on a moving trailer in Lake County.

An Indiana man is facing criminal charges after a video showing a dog in distress on the back of a speeding trailer went viral earlier this week.

The dog is now in proper care, after state troopers said the animal was endangered and in distress. A suspect was in custody Thursday night.
