WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) - A West Fargo man accused of abusing dogs last summer has been sentenced to three days in jail and 15 hours of community service.

Authorities say 25-year-old Jason Weisgerber kept two dogs in a hot, feces-littered garage for more than two weeks without necessary food and water. He pleaded guilty through his attorney to a misdemeanor animal abuse charge.

Weisgerber must also pay a $300 fee and restitution to be determined.

One of the dogs is with a new owner but the other had to be euthanized.
