“Our animal enforcement officer responded, and when they got there, the dogs were still fighting. The dogs were still attacking a single dog there. So the animal enforcement officer instructed Tyisha Osby to break it up. She was the guardian there. She was the person in charge. She told him that she was scared to do that, so she instructed her two children to do it,” Ivey said.
Animal enforcement officers assessed the dogs after the fight was broken up and gave her a notice to take them to the veterinarian.
“We went to follow back up multiple times. On each occasion, no one would answer the door. We could actually, on one of the occasions, hear people inside. Soon as we walked up, knocked on the door. Guess what? They went silent. They ghosted us. They wouldn’t answer the door. So our team made repeated attempts to get them to come to the door,” the sheriff said.
During one of the visits. the sheriff said animal enforcement officers noticed “urine flowing out of the out of the garage by a crack in the door” and could hear the dogs inside.
After obtaining a search warrant, deputies visited the home again and arrested two people, Camilla Perry and Charlie Williams, both 43 years old. They face charges of animal cruelty and confining an animal without sufficient food/water. The sheriff did not say whether they lived at the home.
The sheriff said the animals were found in “rusted cages full of feces and urine.”
“The dogs have been rescued. They’re now in our care. Our veterinarian team has them and is working to get them back into good health, but they are safe and sound, and we believe they will fully recover,” Ivey said.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Osby is asked to call Crimeline at 800-423-8477.
