FREDERICK, M.d. (WDVM) — On Wednesday, Feb. 2, Frederick County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) detectives successfully served a criminal summons to Tiree Lynell Peck, age 34, of Frederick, on six counts of abuse or neglect of animals involving two Cane Corso puppies.
In December 2021, the Frederick County Division of Animal Control (FCDAC) and the FCSO Criminal Investigations Section received a tip of possible animal abuse in the 6600 block of Granville Court in Frederick.
Officers also found Peck tethered the two dogs for extended periods of time, which limited their ability to sit, stand, and have access to food and water. Additionally, information provided indicated that Peck muzzled the dogs with a makeshift device resulting in physical injury.
