THE WOMAN ACCUSED OF LEAVING DOGS TO DIE IN ALBUQUERQUE IN AN S-U-V WAS A NO-SHOW FOR HER COURT APPEARANCE MONDAY. KOB-TV REPORTS SARA MAUTER DIDN’T SHOW UP FOR HER ARRAIGNMENT HEARING AND THE JUDGE ISSUED AN ARREST WARRANT FOR FAILURE TO APPEAR.
POLICE SAY MAUTER WAS HIRED TO TRANSPORT FIVE DOGS TO TEXAS BACK IN APRIL BUT ABANDONED THEM BEHIND A BUSINESS IN ALBUQUERQUE. THEY WERE ALL FOUND DEAD.
MAUTER WAS ARRESTED IN ARIZONA AND BROUGHT BACK TO NEW MEXICO. SHE WAS RELEASED FROM JAIL AFTER A JUDGE DENIED A MOTION TO HOLD HER UNTIL TRIAL.
