A Troy man faces animal cruelty charges after he was seen last night at about 6:15 PM walking several puppies with severely overweight chains. According to Troy police, The weight of the chains was enough to justify the charges.

The puppies were taken to Menands Animal Shelter and Merritt was released and scheduled to appear in Troy Police Court on Monday.
