Bixby police said an eyewitness helped them catch a man who dumped 8 puppies in the bitter cold Sunday morning.
Timothy Edwards was taken into custody and is being charged with 8 counts of felony animal cruelty.
Police said they received reports at about 9 a.m. of an unidentified man dropping off and abandoning a litter of puppies in downtown Bixby.
Officers responded to the area and located the puppies, which were immediately taken away from the harsh weather conditions and brought to the station.
Two Bixby officers are adopting two of the puppies but the department still needs to find a home for the remaining 6 puppies. If interested, please contact the Bixby Police Department at 918-366-8294.
With the help of a citizen who witnessed the crime, officers located the suspect and arrested him.
