CASPER, Wyo. (AP) - A Wyoming woman accused of hoarding animals in squalid conditions has pleaded not guilty.
Deanne Gray is charged in Casper Municipal Court with 64 counts of animal cruelty, one count of not removing animal waste and 16 counts of not removing dead animals.
Gray pleaded not guilty Friday. The court was closed Saturday and it wasn’t clear if Gray had an attorney. She didn’t have a working listed phone number.
KTWO Radio reports a complaint about dogs living in unsanitary conditions prompted an animal control officer to visit Gray’s house. An affidavit says the officer didn’t find Gray and went back July 13 with a search warrant and police, who seized about 40 dogs, 15 cats and 10 birds.
Police also allegedly found dead puppies and dogs in a cooler.
