UPDATE: Man Arrested For Animal Cruelty In Rowan County

An update to a story we brought you earlier this month, an arrest was made in the case of neglected dogs found in Rowan County.

We’re told by the organization Saving The Animals of Rowan, Ricky Gee was arrested by Kentucky State Police. His inmate information on the website for Rowan County Detention Center said he’s charged with animal cruelty.

Someone found a Doberman dog, Lola at a home on US 60 East weighing about 30 pounds, about half of what an adult Doberman usually weighs.

Another dog died at the same location according to the sheriff’s office. A fundraiser set up for Lola by STAR in Rowan County has nearly doubled its goal.
