BALTIMORE COUNTY — Rodney Ward, the owner of Loving Care Pet in Baltimore County, has been arrested and charged related to a pet cremation scam.

Rodney faces 56 charges including "willfully and maliciously destroying, injuring and defacing the pet remains of a dog."

Charging documents say Rodney conspired with Yalanda Ward, to allegedly steal, destroy and deface the remains of multiple pets.
