That led the Monmouth County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to charge David Lench. The 50-year-old Middletown resident was fined $1,000 in May for leaving mothballs along the same fence. Lench had pleaded guilty to trying to harm a dog and puppy.
The dogs' owner, Michael Flynn, and the county's SPCA police chief Victor Amato, hammered the 3-inch nails flat to protect the dogs.
Lench is scheduled to appear in Municipal Court on Feb. 25.
