- Georgia, USA -

The Columbus Police Department announced the arrest of 32-year-old AKAHIME JORDAN (pictured).

Police said in a press release that they received a tip about several dogs being chained outside JORDAN’s home, in the 500 block of Chesterfield Avenue, without proper shelter or access to water.

On May 28, 2024, the Columbus Police Department’s Special Operations Unit executed a search warrant at the property and while walking through the backyard, officers saw several dogs who appeared underweight, lacked access to food and water, and showed signs of injury.

Police said: “Equipment on his property suggested the dogs were potentially used in dog fighting.”

Police learned that inside the home JORDAN had more dogs so officers obtained a search warrant for inside the house.

The search led to the discovery of:

• Red Kia K5 sedan (reported stolen from Atlanta)

• Draco 9mm firearm

• Numerous credit cards and I.D. cards not belonging to the suspect

• 1,018.3 grams of marijuana

• 7.7 grams of methamphetamine

• 2 grams of spice

Animal Control Officers responded to the scene and rescued seven adult dogs and ten puppies. The Voiceless Victims are being treated by a veterinarian for injuries.

JORDAN was placed under arrest and charged with seventeen (17) felony counts of animal cruelty amongst other offenses. At the time of writing, records show JORDAN is being held into the Muscogee County Jail.
