Grygla<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A Grygla woman faces an animal mistreatment charge after a dog allegedly died inside a parked vehicle.<\/p>\n

Jaylene Renee Lian, 64, is charged with one misdemeanor count in Marshall County District Court.<\/p>\n

The criminal complaint lists September 9, 2026, as the alleged offense date.<\/p>\n

Investigators say the dog was left unattended inside a vehicle for several hours before being found dead.<\/p>\n

Anonymous Report Leads to Investigation<\/h2>\n

According to court documents, Marshall County authorities received an anonymous report around 9:38 a.m. on September 9.<\/p>\n

The caller reported hearing about a dog dying after being left inside a vehicle.<\/p>\n

The information reportedly came from a conversation involving Josh Lian and a coworker at Machinewell in Grygla.<\/p>\n

Investigators contacted Josh Lian to learn what happened.<\/p>\n

He initially told authorities he placed the dog inside his mother’s vehicle because the animal sometimes acted aggressively toward visitors.<\/p>\n

Josh said he returned home around 9 p.m. and discovered the dog dead inside the vehicle.<\/p>\n

He reportedly said he had forgotten the dog was there and did not intend for it to die.<\/p>\n

Woman Describes Dog Being Left in Vehicle<\/h2>\n

Later that afternoon, investigators visited Jaylene Renee Lian at her residence.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, Jaylene provided a different account of who placed the dog inside the vehicle.<\/p>\n

She reportedly told investigators she placed the dog inside her vehicle around 4:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

Jaylene said visitors were coming to her home, and the dog frightened them.<\/p>\n

She allegedly forgot the animal remained inside the parked vehicle.<\/p>\n

Jaylene said she remembered the dog only after Josh returned home around 9 p.m.<\/p>\n

Based on her account, the dog had been inside the vehicle for approximately four and a half hours.<\/p>\n

She told investigators Josh was not responsible for placing the dog inside the vehicle.<\/p>\n

Investigators Examine Vehicle and Dog<\/h2>\n

Investigators examined the deceased dog and the vehicle involved in the reported incident.<\/p>\n

The complaint identifies the vehicle as a 2021 Ford Bronco Sport.<\/p>\n

The dog was reportedly found on the front passenger floorboard.<\/p>\n

Jaylene described the animal as approximately five years old and said it had not been sick.<\/p>\n

Investigators observed no obvious injuries on the dog’s body.<\/p>\n

They also documented paw prints, smudges, and dog hair inside the vehicle.<\/p>\n

Photographs were taken of the vehicle and deceased animal as part of the investigation.<\/p>\n

The supplied complaint does not describe veterinary testing to establish the precise cause of death.<\/p>\n

Animal Mistreatment Charge Filed<\/h2>\n

Prosecutors charged Jaylene under Minnesota Statute 343.21, subdivision 1<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The law prohibits animal neglect and several forms of animal cruelty.<\/p>\n

The filed misdemeanor charge carries a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail, a $1,000 fine, or both.<\/p>\n

The case is filed in Minnesota’s Ninth Judicial District under court file number 45-CR-26-301<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The allegations have not been proven in court. Jaylene Renee Lian is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.<\/p>\n
