flag A Wyoming man faces animal cruelty charges after bringing a muzzled wolf into a bar in 2024, with trial set for March.

flag Cody Roberts’ felony animal cruelty trial is set to proceed in March after a Sweetwater County judge rejected his defense’s bid to dismiss charges. flag The case stems from February 2024, when Roberts brought a muzzled, collared wolf into a Daniel bar, where it was filmed motionless for hours. flag Though Wyoming law allows killing predatory animals, the judge ruled this does not grant blanket immunity from cruelty charges, noting the statute lists only four specific actions. flag Prosecutors argue Roberts caused undue suffering, citing video evidence and testimony from a wildlife biologist who said the wolf showed signs of distress. flag Roberts, who pleaded not guilty, faces up to two years in prison if convicted. flag Jury selection is scheduled for February 12.
