WARREN – A man city police accused of having sex with two dogs pleaded no contest Tuesday in Warren Municipal Court to a charge of animal cruelty and was sentenced to 90 days in jail.
Salvador Rendon, 61, 1152 Ward St. NW, had 60 days of the sentence suspended by Judge Thomas Gysegem and was given credit for the 18 days he’s already been in the Trumbull County Jail.
Before sentencing, Gysegem called the act “despicable.”The judge also barred Rendon from returning home and from being around animals, and placed him on five years probation. Rendon also will be placed under the care of Coleman Professional Services for a psychiatric evaluation. Gysegem said he wants an update on his evaluation May 31, when he can amend the terms of the probation.
