SUMMARY: On August 20th, the Assistant Public Works Director discovered a dead dog in a locked pen at the animal control shelter, where 32-year-old supervisor Kayla Barnes is responsible for the animals’ care. Authorities found 14 other dogs alive but without food or water. Barnes admitted she did not feed or hydrate the dogs, despite temperatures ranging from 70 to 100 degrees during two weekends in August. Subsequently, she was arrested and booked into the Sequoyah County Jail, though she has since been released. The case highlights serious neglect and raises concerns about animal welfare standards at the shelter.

The former animal control supervisor for the town of Roland, Oklahoma, was arrested and accused of animal cruelty.
