With investigators finding about 70 animals in "deplorable" conditions on her property, a Pahrump woman may face animal cruelty charges.
Brenna England, 38, was arrested Wednesday on an outstanding warrant and is being held as Nye County officials investigate.
About 20 large dogs of different breeds, 35 Chihuahuas, 15 cats and two horses were found at a residence in the 1500 block of Heritage Drive.
"The animals on the property were not being provided with adequate shelter, food or water.," stated a news release from the Nye County Sheriff's Office. "The animals were living in deplorable conditions of filth and trash. Deputies observed at least one deceased kitten decomposing in the back yard. Deputies ran a record check on England, who returned with an arrest warrant."
England was arrested on the Pahrump Justice Court warrant and transported to Nye County Detention Center. The animal cruelty case is under investigation and in the preliminary stages, and charges are pending.
The animals are being relocated to a facility that can provide care. England remains in custody on $1,001 cash only bail for the court warrant.
