Police seize 34 horses, ponies from Waynesboro pasture after owner charged with cruelty
Authorities have seized 34 horses and ponies belonging to a Nelson County man who was charged last week with animal cruelty.
Authorities have seized 34 horses and ponies belonging to a Nelson County man who was charged last week with animal cruelty.
Waynesboro Animal Control officer Dee Price said many of the animals taken from the Waynesboro pasture Tuesday were severely underweight. Police loaded them in trailers for transport to an Augusta County farm.
The owner, 53-year-old Tory Allen Garrett of Afton, was charged with animal cruelty after a business associate of his took an emaciated pony to a veterinarian.
Price says Garrett could face more charges pending evaluations of the seized animals.
Garrett says a veterinarian was about to examine his horses when he happened upon the police raid. He says authorities would not find any sickly or mistreated animals.
