County: Southampton

Disposition: Alleged

Alleged: Patricia Cohan-Kinlaw

A Southampton County woman has been charged with failing to take proper care of her animals after being investigated for running an unlicensed kennel.

Patricia Cohan-Kinlaw, 61, of New Road near Ivor, was charged with two counts of failing to care for animals after police served a search warrant at her home and found 22 unlicensed dogs, including eight puppies and some adults with "open sores around the head areas, as well as dogs showing signs of infections and problems with their hips," according to an affidavit on file from Southampton Animal Warden James Cooke.

Cooke served the warrant June 27 after an undercover officer visited the property and found that Cohan-Kinlaw had more than 10 dogs and had not obtained the proper kennel licenses. That officer also observed the health problems cited in the search warrant.

Cooke wrote in the affidavit he filed in support of the search warrant request that he had visited the property previously in the company of a state veterinarian and had noted problems with the animals. Since then, he wrote, Cohan-Kinlaw "has denied animal control further access to the property for a follow-up visit."

In addition to dual charges of improper care, Cohan-Kinlaw is also charged with failing to secure a valid license for 22 dogs.
