Posted/updated on: September 27, 2017 at 4:10 pm
HENDERSON – A Henderson man has been convicted on animal cruelty charges. Last October, Larry Antone Cadwell, 51, reported two of his horses missing. When authorities went to his property off Farm Road 1251, they found nearly two dozen emaciated horses. KETK reports authorities believe all the horses had parasites because of bad pond water, their only drinking source. Also, there was no grass to feed on in the area, and the animals were forced to eat leaves from trees. He could get up to one year in jail and a $4,000 fine. A sentencing date has not been set.
