Tuesday, July 16, 2024 7:59PMThe owner of a pet grooming business is facing drug charges after authorities responded to reports of a dog death last week.
According to Woodbury police, officers were dispatched around 1 p.m. on July 12 to K9 Kingdom, which is located on the 500 block of Woodbury-Glassboro Road. The dog's owner told police he dropped off his pet at the business earlier in the day for a grooming appointment. Sometime later, the business owner, Trevor Hunt, contacted the family to say the dog died."Harley was a healthy 4-year-old girl whose family is now grieving her sudden, unfair, and preventable death!" a family member posted on Facebook.
When officers arrived to speak with Hunt he allegedly became "tense" and attempted to delete evidence from his phone, according to court documents obtained by Action News.A search warrant conducted later that evening at the business resulted in the seizure of dozens of small plastic bags containing suspected heroin, authorities said.At this time, Hunt is facing charges of tampering with evidence, resisting arrest and possession of a controlled dangerous substance.
