A Delhi township couple faces a judge on Oct 19, 2007 on charges they mistreated horses. 53-year old Darcel Metz and her husband Clyde are charged with four counts each of cruelty to animals.

Court documents say the Metz's deprived the horses of food and water and wholesome exercise at the stables where they were boarded in Colerain Township.

Police investigators got a veterinarian to examine the animal. On Oct 19 in court, Darcel Metz was released on her own recognizance and ordered not to go near the horses in question. A warrant is out for Clyde's arrest.

The SPCA has taken over care of the horses.
