Warrant issued for man accused of Peoria County animal cruelty case

PEORIA (25 News Now) – The Peoria County Sheriff’s Office has issued a felony warrant for a Peoria man, charged in August in connection with a July animal cruelty case.

In a post on their Facebook page, the Peoria County Sheriff’s Office says Nicholas Prince is also wanted for an unrelated Violation of Order of Protection and has a misdemeanor traffic warrant.

Prince was indicted last month on a felony animal cruelty charge, for allegedly beating a dog which was caught on camera.

Prince was originally charged with a misdemeanor animal abuse charge, and posted bond before prosecutors could review the case.
