Midwest City police look for man accused of animal cruelty

Authorities are on the lookout for a man charged with animal cruelty after a pair of emaciated dogs were found abandoned in a Midwest City apartment.

One of the dogs — a 6-month-old puppy — died Monday, unable to recover from numerous medical complications, a pet rescue official said.

An arrest warrant for Corey Marion Harrison, 26, was issued Tuesday. He was charged Friday in Oklahoma County District Court with two counts of animal cruelty.

Police officers could not find Harrison on Tuesday when they tried to arrest him at his apartment, Midwest City Police Chief Brandon Clabes said.
