NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A woman accused of letting her dog die in a locked car earlier this week in Nashville has been jailed on a felony charge.
According to an arrest warrant, a Metro Animal Control officer witnessed a dog alone in a vehicle around 12:30 p.m. Monday at an undisclosed location in Nashville. The paperwork states the car was turned off, the doors were locked and the windows were up.

Miller was jailed on a $5,000 bond. She is scheduled to appear in court the morning of July 7.
