(MUNCIE) - A Delaware County Corrections officer is facing accusations of animal abuse after several dogs were confiscated from his property.
According to RTV6, officers were dispatched to the home of Laverne Thomas on Thursday on a report of animal neglect. Animal control took possession of two dogs due to poor health, as well as a third dog without any noticeable problems.
Thomas told police the dogs had food and he did not know why the shepherd was so thin. Taking the dogs to a vet was too expensive.
Thomas is charged with neglect of a vertebrate animal. The dogs are currently at the Westview Animal Clinic and are being assessed for various medical issues.
