LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — The second and last suspect in a case where an English Bulldog died in Las Vegas has received her sentence.
Markeisha Foster and Isaac Laushal entered guilty pleas for the death of Reba, the English Bulldog found in a taped tote bin during a 100-degree day in 2024. Monday, Foster has been sentenced to 364 days in the Clark County Detention Center. She was given seven months in probation along with seven months’ credit for time already served.
In court, Foster did not make a statement.
Laushal was sentenced to 16 to 48 months in prison with 248 days’ credit for time already served. The court also ruled he will pay restitution to the rescue that attempted to save Reba.
Reba was found July 26, 2024 near Maryland Parkway and Twain Avenue. The pair was arrested Dec. 7 and faced felony animal abuse charges. Her death and story sparked national uproar and created a push for stricter animal cruelty punishments in Nevada.
REBA’S LAW: After public pressure, ‘Reba’s Law’ to strengthen animal cruelty penalties revived in Nevada Legislature
