CBS NewsChannel 5 has an update to the story we brought you last week regarding nearly 100 horses seized from a Wyoming ranch.

The Lincoln County Attorney released the name of the owner of the horses, Jim Ridge.

He's being charged with 90 counts of animal cruelty.

Right now there's a cost of care bond issued to ridge for $90,100 dollars.

If he doesn't pay that bond fee within 10 days the horses then become property of the state.

In the state of Wyoming, one count of animal cruelty is a $750 fine or 120 days in jail.
