WINSLOW (AP) — Police in Winslow are investigating possible neglect and cruelty after 14 animals were seized from a property in town.
Sgt. Haley Fleming says no one has been charged, but several charges will likely be filed by the end of the month.
Four cows, three calves, three horses, a pony, a donkey and two dogs were seized Tuesday evening.
Fleming tells the Morning Sentinel a search warrant was issued after authorities received reports from callers about things like cows in the road, and another report about a dead cow on the property.
The animals, which appeared to be malnourished, are being evaluated and nursed back to health.
No names were released.
