Tietjen was charged with 20 counts of animal cruelty in October 2013 following an investigation into an animal cruelty case at 585 Creighton Road in Ball Ground.
Cherokee County marshals responded to the residence after a complaint of animal neglect. The marshal’s office executed a search warrant and confiscated 14 purebred Shelties, five Great Pyrenees and a cat from the property.
Authorities said that the dogs were emaciated and showed signs of serious neglect. The officers found dog carcasses, bones, rancid meat and feces on the property.
Tietjen, according to court records, has filed a motion for a new trial.
