i apologize guys, i had the story wrong BUT IT'S STILL ANIMAL CRUELTY guess that's what happens when you listen to he said she said, but here is the actual story (actual police report)

04-13-05
Saturday Deputy David Booker was dispatched to a call concerning blood in the roadway near the County Road 77/78 intersection. The blood led back to a residence at 388 Ouachita 77. Three horses were discovered in a horse paddock at the rear of the residence. One of the animals was visibly injured, bleeding from the hooves. There was evidence that the horses were not receiving the proper care. No one was home at the residence at the time. Officers spoke with a neighbor who stated that the horses had wandered into his yard the night before. He had contacted the owner, Bobby Ray Tidwell, and Tidwell had come to get the animals. At that time Officers contacted Tidwell by phone and Dr. Rocconi was advised of the situation. Upon speaking with Tidwell he stated two of the horses were herded home without incident but that the injured horse would not cooperate. He said that he had put a halter on her and tied a rope from the halter to the rear bumper of his truck. He then proceeded to pull the horse back to the paddock which resulted in the injury. Dr. Rocconi examined the animal and noted the injuries. Injuries to the horse consisted of damaged rear hooves, halter burns on the muzzle as well as an overall poor condition. According to Dr. Rocconi the animal does have a valid chance of recovery with proper care and treatment. This morning he said that he had examined the horse again Tuesday and the animal can stand, the bleeding has stopped and her prognosis is good. Darlene Wheelington who is the Incorporated Agent for the Society Against Cruelty to Animals is also involved in the case. The investigation into the incident is continuing. Tidwell was cited with cruelty to animals and will appear in court on May 19.
