FORT PAYNE, Ala. (AP) - A Cherokee County man was charged with
burglary after allegedly taking three poodles worth at least $1,800
each from the DeKalb County SPCA.
Fort Payne Police Chief David Walker said 47-year-old Glen
Edward Mitchell of Centre was detained on a DeKalb County warrant
Thursday.
Walker said the poodles, previously rescued from a Henagar puppy
mill and stolen from the DeKalb County facility, were again rescued
from another puppy mill in Cherokee County last week.
SPCA Executive Director Freda Waters said an investigation was
conducted into getting the puppy mill cleaned up when the three
poodles were found.
Cherokee County deputies arrested Mitchell at his residence
where 20 other animals were found. Waters said the animals housed
in Centre also were in deplorable conditions.
Mitchell posted a $7,500 bond and was released from the DeKalb
County Jail.
