An accused dog kidnapper from Middle Island pleaded not guilty in court Friday.
Police say Justin Geiger, 23, broke into Friends of Freddie Pet Rescue in Middle Island on Wednesday.
According to police, Geiger visited the pet shop Tuesday to make sure the Rottweiler puppy he had his eye on was not micro-chipped.
Investigators say they found Geiger at his Middle Island home yesterday with the puppy.
Geiger faces burglary charges.
