  OKALOOSA COUNTY:The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office and Panhandle Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) rescued dozens of animals after performing an animal welfare check at a home on Florida Avenue near Crestview last month.

   44-year old Jarah Lee, 46-year old Bonnie Sue Hahn, and 20-year old Eveland Colbert are charged with 14 counts of aggravated animal cruelty and 14 counts of animal cruelty after investigators found dogs considered severely mistreated by starvation, lack of water, and medical care, as well as livestock with no potable water. They were arrested July 12th.

    “It was great to be able to work in conjuction with PAWS and their staff to enforce Florida laws,” said Sheriff Eric Aden.  “Along with our Investigators Michael Kruger and Nate Bowen, they did outstanding work to get the suffering animals to safety. Alaqua Animal Refuge is also assisting with the mission.”

    All 41 animals on the property were either confiscated or surrendered. The emaciated dogs are gaining weight and will be adoptable. At least one however remains on a feeding tube at this time.

    The investigation began due to a tip. If you are aware of animal abuse please contact the OCSO, PAWS, or Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers.
