I have emailed Moore County Animal Services and asked whether the breed, age, gender, and names of the deceased dogs were known and could be disclosed.
In an email I was told: “The information contained in our press release is complete at this point. As this is an active investigation, no other information will be released.”
~ Original story:
Moore County Sheriff Ronnie Fields announced the arrest of 50-years-old TAMBRA LYNN CLIFT and 48-years-old SCOTT THOMAS MCCAFFREY (both pictured).
In a news release the sheriff’s office said that on Tuesday, June 7, a report came in about “multiple deceased dogs in the back of box truck on Grant Street in the Seven Lakes area of West End.”
Animal Control Deputies along with Moore County Sheriff’s Office Investigators responded to the scene and upon arrival they located 10 dead dogs in the back of a rented box truck.
Investigators identified MCCAFFREY and CLIFT, both of Weslaco, Texas, as the operators of the box truck.
From an investigation it emerged that the VOICELESS VICTIMS “had died because of the suspects negligence,” said the sheriff’s office.
Two of the deceased furbabies have been sent to the N.C. State Lab for a necropsy to determine the cause of death.
CLIFT and MCCAFFREY were arrested on ten counts of Felony cruelty to animals and booked into the Moore County Detention Center each under a $30,000 secured bond.
Online records show the pair bonded out.
CLIFT and MCCAFFREY’s first court appearance has been set for Thursday, June 30, 2022, in Moore County District Court.
The sheriff’s office urges anyone with information regarding this case to contact its Tip Line at: (910) - 947 - 4444. Thank you!
