TABITHA HENLEY and RICHARD NEALON facing charges after their dogs charged at a realtor trying to show a property in Walker County

- Georgia, USA -

The Walker County Sheriff's Office arrested 43-year-old TABITHA HENLEY (pictured).

The arrest is the result of an investigation conducted by Walker County Animal Control. The agency received a call from a realtor reporting several dogs at a property on 349 Ridgeland Road near Rossville who were barking, growling, and charging at him.

When ACO responded to the given address, they noticed that one of the dogs was having trouble walking.

ACO Bishop knocked on the door and spoke with HENLEY about the dog’s condition.

A spokesperson for Walker County tells me the furvictim’s name is Stratton.

HENLEY told ACO Bishop that Stratton had been run over by a vehicle some time ago, but she had not sought veterinary treatment. She then agreed to surrender Stratton to the county so he could receive medical care.

According to a veterinarian, x-rays on Stratton’s leg showed it was broken and that the injury was likely several months old. The veterinarian explained to ACO Bishop that the injury was very painful, and the best course of action was to amputate Stratton’s leg.

HENLEY was arrested and charged with aggravated animal cruelty.

A warrant has also been issued for the arrest of her boyfriend, RICHARD NEALON, on the same charge.
