警方称，当局在多处房产发现27匹死马后，一名女子被逮捕。
根据圣华金县警长办公室的一份声明，周三，圣华金县警长办公室的代表在动物服务官员的支持下，在加利福尼亚州克莱门茨执行了一项关于正在进行的动物忽视调查的搜查令。
“在行动中，发现了几匹营养不良的马，它们只能获得有限的食物和水，大约27匹死马被找到，”警方说。
在调查过程中，动物服务官员和在现场的兽医一起搜查了多处房产，并立即开始对马匹进行分类和评估。
“经过彻底的评估，16匹马被救出，现在由奥克戴尔马救援中心的专业人员照顾，他们将确保它们得到适当的营养，医疗护理和康复，”当局说。“不幸的是，4匹马和1头公牛由于被极度忽视而不得不被安乐死。动物服务官员和兽医目前仍在评估额外的马匹和动物，因为财产的大小。”
克莱门茨的简·约翰逊被逮捕，在被收押到圣华金县监狱之前，她被指控虐待动物、威胁公职人员、刑事威胁和持有短管猎枪。
“我们致力于保护我们社区所有动物的福利，并将继续调查此事，”警方说。“感谢我们的代表和动物服务团队在处理这一情况时的奉献精神和迅速行动。我们也要感谢奥克戴尔马救援公司，感谢他们在此次救援中给予我们的大力支持。”
Woman arrested after 27 dead horses found across multiple properties
A woman has been arrested after authorities discovered 27 dead horses across multiple properties, police said.
On Wednesday, deputies from the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office, along with support from Animal Services officers, executed a search warrant in Clements, California, regarding an ongoing animal neglect investigation, according to a statement from the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office.
“During the operation, several malnourished horses were discovered on the premises with limited access to any food or water and approximately 27 deceased horses were located,” police said.
Multiple properties were searched during the investigation and animal service officers, along with veterinarians who were at the scene, immediately began to triage and evaluate the condition of the horses.
“After thorough assessments, 16 horses were rescued and are now in the care of professionals at the Oakdale Equine Rescue who will ensure they receive proper nutrition, medical attention, and rehabilitation,” authorities said. “Unfortunately, 4 horses and 1 Bull had to be euthanized due to their extreme neglect. Animal services officers and veterinarians are still currently evaluating additional horses and animals due to the size of the property.”
Jan Johnson of Clements was arrested and charged with cruelty to an animal, threatening a public official, criminal threats and possession of a short-barrel shotgun before she was booked into the San Joaquin County jail.
“We are committed to protecting the welfare of all animals in our community and will continue to investigate this matter,” police said. “Thank you to our Deputies and Animal Services team for their dedication and swift action in addressing this situation. We would also like to thank Oakdale Equine Rescue for their incredible support in assisting us with this rescue.”
