Coffee County deputies have arrested a 24-year-old female on animal cruelty charges after she abandoned several domesticated animals in a mobile home without food nearly a month ago.
Deputies responded to a residence on Sand Street and met with the complainant who stated the offender had vacated the home at the beginning of March. She added the electricity had been turned off since that time and the offender had left several animals behind, including one dog that was found dead inside the home. Deputies discovered several other malnourished animals while at the residence, which was brimming with animal feces.
An animal control officer was called to the scene to remove the remaining animals.
Deputies were able to locate the offender, Agnes Leuvenia Miller, who admitted to being responsible for the animals left at the Sand St. residence. Miller was arrested and charged with two counts of cruelty to animals and booked into the Coffee County Jail early Wednesday morning.
