Cruelty To Animals Charges For Joliet Man From East Side Of Town

JOLIET — The Will County State's Attorney's Office of Jim Glasgow has moved forward with two charges of cruelty to animals against a Joliet man from the 500 block of Sehring Street, Dezmon Greene. Thursday's criminal complaint resulted from a Will County Sheriff's Office investigation. The complaint was signed by Detective R.J. Austin.

According to Will County, Green is accused of cruelly treating, starving or otherwise abusing a female Cane Corso as well as a male Cane Corso. He also faces six criminal charges of violation of owner's duties. Greene is accused of failing to provide a sufficient quantity of good quality, wholesome food and water for that dog. In total, Greene faces eight criminal charges and his crimes happened on Nov. 1, according to court records.

There is not a mugshot available because Greene's criminal charges are not detainable under the SAFE-T-Act.

Instead, the court records show that one of the Will County judges signed her name and issued a summons for Greene to appear in Courtroom 302 on Thursday, Dec. 19 for the offenses of cruelty to animals and violation of owner's duties.

"If you fail to appear, a warrant may be issued for your arrest," the judge's summons informed Greene.
