On June 2, 2023, The McCracken County Sheriff’s Office responded to a parking lot on South 6th Street in Paducah, Kentucky after receiving a call about a dog locked in a vehicle that was not running. A deputy arrived at approximately 8:52 AM and was able to open the vehicle to check on the dog. The young dog was in clear distress and did not have access to food or water.

Deputies located the owner of the dog, Chloe Throgmorton, and determined that the dog had been left in the vehicle overnight. Throgmorton was also under the influence of drugs. During a search of Throgmorton’s vehicle, deputies located syringes, methamphetamine, and other illegal drug paraphernalia.

Throgmorton, 19 years old of Paducah, KY, was arrested for Cruelty to Animals 2nd Degree, Public Intoxication, Possession of Methamphetamine, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. She was lodged in the McCracken County Jail.

The puppy was taken to a local veterinarian’s office for treatment where she will be observed for any ongoing signs of illness due to being left in the vehicle. She will then be taken to the McCracken County Humane Society.
