Animal abuse charges were filed in July 2006 against a Holt man that law enforcement officials say had scores of dead and dying animals littering his home and property.

The Okaloosa County Sheriff�s Office received approval on a warrant signed by Judge Tolton on July 25 for an emergency abatement to start clean-up efforts at the 4684 Hardy Adams Road home of Robert Franklin Money.

Money was arrested and held at the Santa Rosa County Jail after a citizen recognized him driving on Highway 90 towards Okaloosa County. He was transported to the Okaloosa County Jail and was arrested for 32 counts of Animal Cruelty Resulting in Death and 25 counts of Animal Cruelty.

The Okaloosa County Sheriff�s Office Environmental Unit, the Okaloosa County Health Department and Okaloosa County Road Department were given the authority to clean up and properly dispose of the dead animals that were found at Money's home Thursday.

The goal of the three agencies was to ensure that the property is no longer a sanitary nuisance or health hazard to the surrounding neighbors. Roughly ten hours were spent in the cleanup effort.

Case Updates

A man accused of abusing nearly 60 animals in Holt has been transferred to Okaloosa County where he will make his first court appearance.

Robert Money is charged with 32 felony and 25 misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty.

He was arrested July 26 in Santa Rosa County on an unrelated violation of probation charge.

Earlier this month, Okaloosa deputies responded to a complaint at Money's home and found what animal control officers describe as one of the worst cases of animal abuse they had ever seen.

Eleven hogs, 17 chickens and four dogs were found dead, apparently from starvation.

Another 25 animals were near death.

None had food or water.

The county health department, road department and deputies are still cleaning up the property.

Money is scheduled to appear in court in Crestview on August 29th.
