On July 10, 2018 at 5:25 P.M., Troopers out of State Police Batavia arrested Becky L. Frens, 56, of Batavia, for overdriving, torturing and injuring animals and failure to provide proper sustenance.
Troopers were dispatched to the Genesee County Animal Shelter in the town of Batavia at the request of animal control officers. Frens arrived at the animal shelter to claim a dog that was previously located the day before. The dog was in very poor health with multiple issues caused by neglect. The dog was diagnosed with multiple skin infections, mange, double ear infections, and had uncut nails so long that the dog could not walk.
The dog was left in the care of the Genesee County Animal Shelter and Frens was arrested and processed at the State Police Barracks in Batavia.
Frens was issued an appearance ticket returnable to the town of Batavia Court for July 2018.
