MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- A local man was arrested after police say he starved his dogs to the point one of them died.

Eddie Person was charged and remains in jail tonight.

Police were called to his North Memphis home after someone inside found three dogs lying in his backyard.

One of the dogs was dead, wrapped in a plastic bag behind the home.

The other two were locked in cages without any food or water.

Police said all three of the dogs belonged to Person.

The dogs were rushed to Memphis Animal Services.

An autopsy of the dog that died showed the animal had not eaten or had anything to drink for some time.

The other two were treated.

One of them had to be euthanized for aggressive behavior, but the other was picked up by a local rescue group.
