MAN CHARGED WITH ASSAULT, ANIMIAL CRUELTY AND OTHER COUNTS

Fifty-one-year-old Cumberland resident Aaron R. Jensen, Jr. faces several charges, following an incident at Ollie’s Bargain Outlet on Monday. Jenson had a puppy, which was estimated to be between six to eight weeks old. Jensen appeared to be intoxicated and was unable to provide appropriate care for the puppy. The puppy was exposed to unsafe conditions, including falling temperatures. While deputies tried to take protective custody of the puppy, Jensen allegedly assaulted them and resisted arrest. Jensen is currently being held at the Allegany County Detention Center. The Sheriff’s Office is seeking information on the whereabouts and welfare of the puppy’s mother and the remaining littermates. Anyone with information is asked to contact Deputy Miller or Sgt. Grimm at (301)-777-1585.
