After three continuations, court proceedings against the Stuarts Draft man accused of torturing dozens of animals in Augusta County this summer is set to move forward today.
Online records showed that Carl Rudolph Lentz is scheduled to appear at 10 o’clock this morning in the General District Court.
The 59-year-old faces six felony charges of torturing or maiming a dog or a cat. Authorities say they received an anonymous call on June 2nd about several animals living in deplorable conditions on Augusta Farms Road.
Lentz was arrested following that investigation, and remains in custody.
