The Idaho Attorney General’s office is reviewing potential animal cruelty charges against a Preston science teacher who has been accused feeding a sick puppy to a snapping turtle in his junior high school classroom earlier this month.
After Franklin County Sheriff’s Office investigated the March 8 complaint of animal cruelty, the report was sent to the Franklin County Prosecuting Attorney Vic Pearson to review potential animal cruelty charges against Robert Crosland. The office passed the case on to the attorney general’s office, citing a conflict of interest.
The Idaho Attorney General’s office declined to comment on the investigation, but confirmed that it accepted the case on Tuesday.
