 Alabama puppy mill
ELKMONT, Alabama - Limestone County authorities say an Elkmont woman is accused of operating a puppy mill and keeping dead dogs in her freezer.
Sheriff's Department investigator Eric King says 63-year-old Nannie Johnson was charged with 43 counts of cruelty to animals after 43 dogs were found dead at her home on Friday.
King says one dead dog was dead in a kennel and the remainder were wrapped in plastic and stored in Johnson's freezer.
Officials say 28 dogs were found alive, but two have since died.
Athens veterinarian Robert Pitman says the surviving dogs are emaciated.
Johnson was being held at the Limestone County jail in lieu of $32,250 bond.
