Rancho Santa Margarita, - Flordeliza Aguillo Escano, and her son will be arraigned tomorrow for abusing and abandoning 30 dogs in a Laguna Hills park. Flordeliza Aguillo Escano, 59, Rancho Santa Margarita, is charged with one misdemeanor count each of animal abandonment, animal mistreatment, and animal neglect.
According
to the Orange County District Attorney’s (OCDA) office, James Francis Alambra, 26, Rancho Santa
Margarita, is charged with one misdemeanor count each of animal abandonment and
animal mistreatment.
On the afternoon of May 20, 2012, Escano and her son, Alambra, are accused of driving a truck into the parking lot of San Remo Park in Laguna Hills, unloading two crates from the parked truck, one containing 14 dogs and another containing 16 dogs and cramming the crates so tightly that the dogs were stacked atop one another, without food or water.
Escano and her son are accused of placing the crates next to trees near the road and abandoning them, but because their truck wouldn't start, they are accused of leaving the scene after being picked up by a woman in another vehicle, who was unaware of the animal abandonment, leaving their truck behind.
Park visitors found the abandoned crates and contacted the Orange County Sheriff's Department, who investigated this case. The recovered dogs showed signs of neglect which included matted fur and ingrown toenails.
Deputy District Attorney Jennifer Malone of the Consumer and Environmental Protection Unit is prosecuting this case
