Man Goes Missing, Animals Left Hungry 

A deputy making a welfare check discovered animals in distress at a residence on St. Rt. 73 

Around 10:30 a.m., an officer tried to contact a man after his concerned employer and family members said they hadn’t been able to reach him for weeks. 

When a deputy arrived at the home, it didn’t seem as if anyone was home. However, there were around 9 malnourished, dirty cats outside and a dog chained up with no sign of food or water.  

Dispatch attempted to contact a humane agent to check on the animals, but the humane agent was busy and unable to go to the scene. Dispatch said they would call again the next day.
