NOSY NEIGHBORS NAB ABUSIVE ARTEST: KCRA-TV in Sacramento reports this week that Ron Artest has been accused of animal cruelty, a felony charge that also carries a $20,000 fine.

Animal control has taken away his dog, a female Great Dane, because the animal allegedly was not fed or cared for for “months at a time.” Neighbors claim “animal control has taken custody of his dogs on at least three other occasions.”
