GOLDEN VALLEY, AZ — Mohave County Sheriff’s Office says a man has been arrested on nearly 100 counts of felony animal cruelty after he was accused of freezing animals alive.
Officials were called to a Golden Valley home earlier this month when someone called to report multiple dead animals found in a freezer, including some that may have belonged to the person who reported them.
When deputies and animal control officers arrived at the home, they found 183 dead animals including dogs, turtles, lizards, birds, snakes, mice, rats, and rabbits.
MCSO says several of the animals appeared to have been frozen alive.
Officials could not make contact with the suspect, 43-year-old Michael Patrick Turland, or his wife, until Wednesday.
