Police Might File Charges Against Neighbor

COLUMBIA, Pa. -- Columbia Borough Police are now involved in a dispute between neighbors in Lancaster County over dogs.
Theresa Abrams, of Columbia, said her three dogs, Selena, Tess and Dusty, ran out her back gate last week.
Selena returned, but Abrams said the next night, she found Tess and Dusty for sale on the Web site Craigslist.
After some digging online, Abrams said she found out one of her neighbors was the seller.
News 8 talked with the neighbor and her husband, but are not identifying them because they have not been charged.
Columbia Borough Police said the neighbor told them that she sold the dogs to someone in York County, but she would not tell officers who purchased them.
The neighbor said that she found the dogs dirty and without tags and didn't know the owner.
She said that she kept the dogs for three days, then sold them so they'd have a good home.
"She made a profit on something that belonged to me that she had no right to take," said Abrams.
The neighbor wrote on the Craigslist posting that the dogs belonged to her grandmother who recently died.
Columbia Borough Police said she told them she made up the story because she didn't think anyone would want to adopt a stray dog.
Abrams said that she'll gladly take the dogs back and drop the feud, no questions asked.
Columbia Borough Police said they will file charges if the neighbor does not tell them the whereabouts of the dogs.
