Danielsville man charged with cruelty to animals

Frankie Ray Turner, 37, 1111 Adams Road, was charged with one count of cruelty to animals.

According to the incident report, officer Jeffrey Strickland went to the residence where he met with Turner’s girlfriend, who said she had come to check on the animals and that she had lived there with Turner, but had left a few days prior because she was afraid of him. She still had a key, so Strickland allowed her to go inside to care for the animals, but told her that she could not remove any property without Turner being there. The woman found a dead kitten on the front porch and once inside, Strickland noted the residence appeared not to have been occupied for several days and was very hot. There were five small adult dogs inside, along with two adult cats and three kittens, all without food or water. Feces and urine were throughout the living area of the home. Turner’s girlfriend removed the kittens from the household to take a veterinarian, according to the report, and fed and watered the other animals.

A warrant was issued for Turner on June 1.

In another arrest, Hussain Ali Abdul-Lateef, 31, 40 Buddy Faust Road, Crawford, was charged with DUI/alcohol, possession of a Schedule 1 controlled substance and open container after officer Klint Segars was dispatched to the Golden Pantry in response to two suspicious black males. Once there, Segars found driver Abdul-Lateef at the gas pump trying to pump gas despite the store being closed. He told the officer that he consumed two or three beers and had “just come to Comer to get some gas.” Segars then told him he was in Danielsville, not Comer. He appeared unsteady on his feet and his speech was slurred. While searching the vehicle, officers found a white rock substance wrapped in a small plastic bag inside a Cheetos bag. An open can of beer was also found in the vehicle.
