Two people from Atlantic were arrested this (Thursday) morning, in association with a deceased, emaciated dog left in a ditch in rural Cumberland last weekend. 20-year old Anthony Michael Palijo and 18-year old Makayla Marie Palijo, turned themselves in to the Cass County Sheriff’s Office on Sheriff’s Office warrants charging each of them with one Animal Neglect Causing Injury/Death. Both parties remain held at the Cass County Jail on $1,000 bond each.

The charges stem from the report of a neglected/deceased dog found in a ditch near 650th and Pella Roads on Saturday, June 27, 2020. The Cass County Sheriff’s Office extends its true appreciation and thanks to the public for the information that assisted in charging the subjects.
