Caserta, Robert S. Jr.
Nov 2017 – Robert Caserta pleaded guilty to dragging his dog and then force-feeding it beer. A video showing the abuse by the dog’s former owner was released by the district attorney’s office. Street cameras showed Caserta repeatedly yanking the Wheaton Terrier and then, while seated at the bus stop, takes a swig of beer and then forces the alcohol down the dogs throat. An observant bus driver called dispatch who they, in turn, contacted Albany Police. Caserta was arrested and recently plead guilty to misdemeanor Animal Cruelty. As part of the deal, he spent 60 days in jail, submit to mental health counseling, relinquish ownership and 3 years of Post Release Supervision. Caserta violated the terms and conditions of his Probation and was re-sentenced to 8 months incarceration with an order preventing him from owning, possessing, or residing with any animals for three years.
