A Colbert County woman was arrested over the weekend after authorities found 29 dead horses and scores of malnourished horses and dogs.

According to jail records, Debra Catledge, 63, of Cherokee, faces 15 counts of animal cruelty and one charge of obstructing government operations. She was released from the Colbert County Jail Sunday on $12,250 bond.

Catledge’s arrest came after 29 dead horses were discovered Friday morning, along with at least 10 horses that appeared undernourished, and 45 dogs. The surviving animals were confiscated from the property.

The Colbert County Animal Shelter closed that day to deal with the animals, and have asked for donations of hay and feed to care for the horses.

Catledge faced similar charges almost 10 years ago, when she was arrested after animal control officers and sheriff’s deputies found more than 120 small dogs on her property near Cherokee.

She later pleaded guilty to three charges.
