Bradley Beach man fined $500 for animal cruelty

BRADLEY BEACH - A 33-year-old borough man pleaded guilty to an animal cruelty charge in municipal court this morning, officials said.

Municipal Court Judge Mark T. Apostolou ordered Christopher Cromer to pay a $500 fine for failing to provide shelter for his Stafford terrier mix earlier this year, said Victor "Buddy" Amato, the chief of the Monmouth County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

On April 12, Cromer left the dog on the roof balcony when the temperature outside was about 29 degrees, said Amato.

Police and Amato were called to the home, and when Cromer returned, he was forced to bring the animal inside.
