SANTA ROSA COUNTY, Fla. -- A man is charged and a woman is wanted after deputies discovered a dead dog in a kennel and multiple other malnourished animals on a Santa Rosa County property, according to an arrest report.
Anthony Harold Hopkins, 42, of Jay, was arrested last Thursday and charged with five counts of confining animals without sufficient food and water. He remains in Santa Rosa County Jail on no bond.
Hopkins was also recently arrested on Jan. 19 and charged with larceny (two counts), burglary and methamphetamine trafficking. He was released from jail on Jan. 22.
Haley Nicole Lynne Williams, 30, of Jay, is also wanted on five counts of confining animals without sufficient food and water. She is described as a white female, 5-feet 1-inches tall, 95 pounds with blonde hair and blue eyes.
According to the arrest report, deputies arrived at Hopkins' home in the 7900 block of Highway 4 on Jan. 17 for a theft investigation.
The report states a deputy couldn't locate Hopkins, but did discover a shed emitting "a foul odor of urine, feces and decomposition."
"Inside the shed there were two kennels stacked on top of each other," the report reads." In the top kennel, there was a deceased dog in decomposition where the skull was visible. The deceased dog was under an electric blanket. Behind the stacked kennels was a single kennel with a white and brown spotted dog."
According to the report, the dog was covered in feces and extremely malnourished "where the outline of each rib bone could be seen." The deputy found empty bowls "with a little bit of dry dog food on the floor."
The report states deputies also discovered a malnourished pit bull in a kennel -- with no food or water -- inside the home.
"The kennel floor was covered in feces and urine. It appeared the kennel had not been cleaned for some time," the report reads. "The dog also had injuries to its face and paws. The injuries to its face appeared to be superficial cuts and the injuries to the paws appeared to be from exposure to feces over a period of time."
Additionally, deputies located a cat and pig on the property -- both in poor condition.
The report states that as deputies searched the property for additional animals, they discovered two graves.
"One appeared to be fresh and had cans of dog food for memorial purposes near the grave," the report reads. "The second grave was shallow with no memorial items and rib bones were exposed to the elements."
Animal Control seized the two dogs, as well as the cat and pig.
According to the report, deputies believe no one had been at the residence since Jan. 6.
