A joint investigation by Irondequoit Police and the Humane Society has resulted in the arrest of a 33-year-old Rochester woman on a charge of animal cruelty.
Police say Blythe Caldicott was charged for allegedly beating the dog with a metal cane. The 12-year-old Yorkie had to be euthanized because of severe head injuries.
Caldicott will appear in court on August 5th.
