According to the Waynesboro Police Department, Theodore Jones, 36, has been arrested on three counts of cruelty to animals after investigators state they found abused puppies on his property.
On June 29, investigators responded to Jones' home on Savannah Avenue and found a dead female puppy with brown and white markings.
According to the incident report, another puppy of the same description was found chained with food but had no water. Investigators found her right rear paw was cut multiple times and was swelling.
The report said a Chihuahua was also found on the front porch with no tag or chain. Investigators took the three animals into their care.
According to the incident report, investigators returned on August 3, after a witness told investigators she found a small puppy on the porch with ears chopped off and wounds that attracted flies and gnats.
The witness said she knocked on the door and Jones answered, and took the puppy into the house.
The report states when investigators were previously at the home, the same puppy did not have its ears cut.
A veterinarian with the Waynesboro Animal Hospital advised that the puppy's ears did not appear to be cut by a vet and appeared to be infected.
Jones was arrested on August 8, and booked into Burke County Jail.
