BRADENTON, Fla. — The Bradenton Police Department (BPD) said a Bradenton couple was charged with multiple counts of aggravated animal cruelty on Friday.
An anonymous caller contacted police to report seeing dogs, which appeared to be skinny and underfed, at a home of Adriana O'Hara and Timothy Miller located at the 1800 block of 10th Avenue West. BPD said an officer went to the house to do a welfare check and O'Hara wouldn't let them inside.
On October 14, BPD said it executed a search warrant and seized five large-breed dogs. Each was confined to a crate without food or water.
A veterinarian determined the dogs had "clear signs of emaciation and chronic malnutrition, consistent with long-term neglect."
O'Hara and Miller were both arrested on five counts of aggravated animal cruelty, the charges are third-degree felonies, BPD said.
