OKLAHOMA -- A Lexington man is facing animal cruelty and neglect charges after Lexington Police and the ECI company have been called out numerous times for animals belonging to him roaming the streets of Lexington.
Gregory Snow, 45, of 677 W. Almond in Lexington and owner of Sundog Trails, has been charged in Cleveland County District Court with five counts of animal cruelty and neglect.
The charges stem from five head of cattle that were picked up by the Environmental Cleanup, Inc., (ECI) and checked by a veterinarian November 15.
According to Lexington Police Chief Deana Allen, during an eight month period from January 2016 to September 2016 dispatch received 10 animal at large complaints regarding the animals kept on Sundog and owned by Snow.
During a nine month period from February 2017 until present dispatch received 32 animal at large complaints regarding Snow’s animals kept on Sundog owned by Snow.
“Thus far, 37 municipal complaint citations have been filed against Mr. Snow in the Municipal Court of Lexington from May 2016 to present,” Allen said.
“Numerous properties along NW 5th Street have been damaged by Mr. Snow’s pigs, along with a vehicle being damaged when a pig pushed a poly cart into a resident’s vehicle,” she reported.
Dr. Sharon Marshall reported the cattle were in very poor condition saying each were in a condition of 1 or 2 in a condition report from 1-9 with 9 being good condition.
“After speaking with Dr. Marshall and the district attorney a search warrant was issued for Sundog Trails property to pick up the remaining cattle but they had been removed from that location.”
Four pigs remained on the property November 20 but were not picked up since Dr. Marshall said pigs will eat anything but cattle will not.
