- Louisiana, USA -
Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of 52-years-old SANDRA BLACKMON DRISCOLL (pictured below) on multiple counts of aggravated cruelty to animals in her care.
In a news release the sheriff’s office said that tips came in about some malnourished horses and detectives obtained a search warrant for DRISCOLL’s property in the 500 block of Rubicon Road in Benton, which is the horse training center behind Benton Intermediate School.
During the search detectives discovered three dead horses inside a dump trailer and thirteen additional horses living on the property.
“Investigators say the horses were extremely malnourished and in such dire conditions some were barely able to walk”, stated the release.
The release goes on to say: “Detectives also report the living conditions in the main barn for the animals were deplorable. The stalls were inhabitable, there was very little water available and it appears there were other signs that they have not been fed for quite some time. Eight horses were found in the stalls while two horses and three ponies were found outside the main barn. All the animals were seized and taken to be boarded by a local horse owner.”
DRISCOLL was arrested in the early morning of Tuesday, September 21, and charged with 16 counts of aggravated animal cruelty and transported to the Bossier Maximum Security Facility with a $100,000 bond.
