Along with animal abuse and child endangerment charges, two Stone County residents face drug charges following an animal welfare raid Thursday.

Cynthia Crow, 23, of Reeds Spring, is charged with felony animal abuse, felony child endangerment and felony distribution, delivery and production of a controlled substance.

Raymond Borowski, 28, also of Reeds Spring, faces identical charges.

Both are being held on $100,000 cash-only bond.

The couple was charged after Thursday’s raid on a house on Friday Drive between Branson West and Kimberling City that revealed a cache of exotic animals ranging from an alligator and monkeys to venomous snakes and exotic fish such as a blowfish and sharks.

A three-year-old child was turned over to the Division of Family Services.

The drug charges stem from the discovery of a variety of drug paraphernalia and what could be one pound of marijuana.
