Authorities said on Friday, May 19, a person reported a dog running at large in the area of 3000 block of Trents Ferry Road that was “skinny” and had “old untreated injuries.”

According to the sheriff’s office, Carl Jackson claimed ownership of the dog. Deputies said that due to other dogs on the property, and living conditions, a search warrant was obtained and executed.

Eleven more dogs were seized and many charges were placed due to animal cruelty, authorities said.
