GREENVILLE, N.C. (AP) - Police say a North Carolina man has been cited for animal cruelty after authorities found his dog left inside a minivan.

WITN reports Animal Protective Services in Greenville says the dog was left in David Current’s minivan for between 30 and 45 minutes on Thursday.

Current, who police said is from Huntersville, told a reporter that he was involved in pit bull rescues and had left a cup of water for the dog, while the temperature outside the minivan had reached 90 degrees.
