Texas Man Accused Of Cutting Paws, Legs Off Live Puppies

BAYTOWN, Texas (KTRK) — The man accused of mutilating live puppies in Baytown was supposed to appear in court Tuesday morning. He didn’t because, according to prosecutors, the court couldn’t find him a defense attorney willing to take the case after reading allegations that were so egregious. Justin Reilly Belton, 44, is charged with four counts of animal cruelty.
