Kristy Howell jailed after authorities find two deceased dogs in her garage
44-year-old Kristy Howell was caught having two dead dogs in her garage at her Sherwood Hills Drive residence on June 12th.

Goodfield informed the officers that two dogs were found deceased in the garage of the house, and she suspected that the dogs had died from starvation.

Officers were unable to contact Kristy, so a warrant was issued. Kristy was caught and taken into custody for two counts of aggravated animal cruelty on June 17th.
