Woman who claims to run animal rescue locked 18 dogs in a car with no water, prosecutors say

Priscilla Martin, a 33-year-old homeless woman in Orange County, faces felony animal cruelty charges for allegedly operating a fake animal rescue. Prosecutors claim she locked 18 dogs in a sweltering, feces-covered car without water. Despite these disturbing incidents, Martin pleaded not guilty on Thursday and was released without bail after a judge rejected the request to keep her detained. The case involves multiple dogs allegedly left to die in the extreme heat.
