Police: Bristol woman hanged dogs, buried them in backyard

BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) A Bristol woman is facing two counts of animal cruelty after police say she hanged her two dogs and buried them in her backyard.

Twenty-three-year-old Veronica Reyes told police she was on drugs and hallucinated that the dogs told her to hang them.

Reyes was arrested Friday and is being held on $75,000 bond.

Police say they responded to Reyes's home in November after a neighbor reported that one of the dogs was hanging from a tree in the front yard. Police say they found both dogs buried in the backyard.

Reyes told police she'd smoked marijuana she believed was laced with another drug and had taken prescription painkillers.

It's unclear whether Reyes is represented by an attorney.

Reyes is due in Bristol Superior Court on Jan. 27.
