CAROLYN JEAN BRAUN arrested-Eighteen dogs found living in ‘very poor’ conditions in Manistee County

- Michigan, USA -

 

According to the Michigan State Police press release obtained by Voice For Us, on the morning of October 8, 2024, a trooper from the Michigan State Police Cadillac Post was called to a report of animals at large. Upon arrival at the scene the Trooper saw 61-year-old CAROLYN JEAN BRAUN (pictured), who was loading several dogs into a pickup truck.

 

The Trooper questioned BRAUN about it and she said she was taking the dogs “to a veterinary appointment downstate.” The Trooper asked which vet office and BRAUN provided the name.

 

However, when the Trooper called the vet, he learned that there was no appointment scheduled for BRAUN.

 

BRAUN told the Trooper she had eleven dogs but the Trooper counted them and realized there were eighteen dogs instead.  

 

From an inspection of the premises, it emerged that the dogs “had been living [in] very poor conditions”, stated the release.

 

Manistee County Animal Control stepped in to remove all the furvictims.

 

After a report was turned over to the Manistee County Prosecutor's Office, a warrant was issued for BRAUN’s arrest and she was taken into custody at her property in Thompsonville.

 

During her arrest, another dog was located inside a large conversion van and the furvictim was turned over to Manistee County Animal Control.

 

BRAUN was arraigned in the 85th District Court in Manistee County on one count of abandoning/cruelty to animals, one count of stray dog, and one count of failing to keep dogs vaccinated. She was given a $2,500 bond.

 

BRAUN’s next court appearance is set for November 5, 2024, at 1:00 p.m.

The Madison County Sheriff’s Office arrested 53-year-old WESLEY GEORGE KEYSER (pictured) after several dogs and horses were found in “deplorable conditions.”

 

On October 24, 2024, deputies were alerted to issues regarding animal cruelty and responded to the given address to investigate.

 

Deputies found forty-five (45) dogs and four (4) horses suffering from malnutrition.

Madison County Sheriff Randy Tucker said the animals were not being provided any cover from the weather.

 

All the Voiceless Victims were taken to the Webster Animal Shelter in Madison where veterinarians are providing the care and treatment they need.

 

KEYSER was arrested on October 24, 2024, and terminated from his job at the Madison County Detention Center where he had been employed for approximately nine months.

 

Sheriff Tucker said that KEYSER will be charged with animal cruelty for each animal who was removed from the property.

For those who hurt our animals, beware that we will take every legal measure to make sure you pay the price for hurting the defenseless. This will never be tolerated in Madison County.”

 

At the time of writing, online arrest records show that KEYSER is being held at the Madison County Detention Center on a $46,000 bond.
