Seventeen year-old Brooks resident Jeremy Ryan Richardson has been arrested on felony charges for aggravated cruelty to animals in the arrow attack on a horse at a Bankstown Road farm discovered Sunday morning. The charge notes that Richardson knowingly and maliciously caused physical harm to an animal (horse) by seriously disfiguring the animal... by shooting multiple arrow into the horse striking him in the body and the face. Eight year-old mare Misty suffered four arrow wounds in the attack that was discovered Jan. 3 by a neighbor, Rachel Byrd. The horse was impaled by an arrow that was found in her neck, another that was lodged in her spine and required four hours to be removed by veterinarian Jason McLendon. The horse was also shot in the face and the left shoulder. login to post comments |
