Capt. Kyle Wingate said that officers responded to the casino around 7 p.m. on July 14 due to reports that security had located a vehicle with heavy condensation on the windows and the brake lights activated.

Further investigation found that the dog was left in the car for several hours without water or air conditioning with the windows closed while temperatures were near 80 degrees.
