AIMEE RENEE CURINGTON and NATHANIEL LEVON CURINGTON arrested – Two hundred and fifty-six neglected animals, some dead, removed from their property

- Georgia, USA -

Following an investigation into animal abuse at a residence on 181 Sells Lane in Trenton, 45-year-old AIMEE RENEE CURINGTON and 44-year-old NATHANIEL LEVON CURINGTON (both pictured), were arrested by the Georgia Department of Agriculture (GDA) Law Enforcement Division (LE), in coordination with the Dade County Sheriff’s Office.

Authorities say that as a result of a recent complaint, and GDA inspectors being repeatedly denied entry to the pair’s residence, an inspection warrant was served last week.

According to the press release by the Georgia Department of Agriculture, during the course of a 14-hour operation, two hundred and fifty-six (256) animals were removed from the property. Authorities said the animals were found “in various states of neglect”, and sadly, some of them were deceased.

The survivors were taken to a secondary location to receive veterinary care.

The CURINGTONS were arrested on July 9, 2025, and charged with seven felony counts of cruelty to animals.

At the time of writing, records show they are being held at the Dade County Jail.

GDA Law Enforcement has turned the case over to the Dade County District Attorney’s Office for additional charges and prosecution.

Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tyler J Harper said in a written statement: “This is one of the worst cases of animal abuse and neglect we have seen, and I am confident these individuals will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. GDA Law Enforcement is sending a clear message that animal abuse has no place in the state of Georgia, and we are committed to working with local law enforcement and prosecutors to crack down on those who abuse animals in our state.”
