Case Updates

Twelve horses are being kept at the Crook County Fairgrounds after they were seized from their owner Saturday. It took a number of deputies and 25 volunteers from the Crook County Search and Rescue to get the horses out. "There area about 90 thoroughbred horses out there in Powell Butte that we went out there and looked at and there were several, about 12 of them that were in need of medical condition, uh medical help, they needed some groceries, they needed individual attention and the owner of these horses had them in together in one herd so these horses might not be strong enough to fight their way for food," said Commander Brandon Smith with the Crook County Sheriff's Office.

A few of them are receiving care at the Cinder Rock Veterinary Clinic. The horse owners are race horse breeders living in California-- the Crook County Sheriff's Office says the caretakers are being held responsible for now while the investigation continues. 35 year old Robert Albring Junior was cited for one count of Animal Neglect in the first degree and eleven counts of Animal Neglect in the second degree.
