2 people charged in Walker County after abused dogs try to attack realtor

2 people in Walker County are facing animal cruelty charges after law enforcement says their abused dogs tried to attack a realtor.

The realtor was trying to show a property on Ridgeland Road near Rossville when this happened.

A release from Walker County Government says 43-year old Tabitha Henley was arrested on a charge of aggravated animal cruelty.

A warrant has also been issued for the arrest of her boyfriend, Richard Nealon, on the same charge.

The investigation began when the realtor called Walker County Animal Control to report several dogs from a neighboring property barking, growling and charging at him.

When animal control officers responded to the home, they observed one of the dogs having trouble walking.

Officer Tyler Bishop then knocked on the front door and made contact with Henley.

When asked about the dog’s condition, Henley told him it had been run over by a vehicle some time ago, but she had not sought veterinary treatment as required by state law.

Henley agreed to surrender the dog to the county so it could receive treatment.

According to a veterinarian, x-rays on the dog’s leg showed it was broken and that the injury was likely suffered several months ago.

The veterinarian told Officer Bishop the injury was very painful, and the best course of action was to amputate the dog’s leg.

Henley and Nealon face up to five years in prison, a fine of up to $15,000, or both if convicted.
