What this means

New York State Police say William Ubiles, 34, of Savannah was arrested October 10 and charged with misdemeanor animal cruelty under state Agriculture and Markets Law.

Police said he was processed at SP Lyons and taken to the Wayne County Jail for arraignment; the charge is an allegation and does not constitute a conviction.
