On Monday afternoon, deputies responded to a complaint of some dogs being mistreated at a home on Knuckles Christopher Lane.

When they arrived, they made contact with, Tabitha Christine Lane, 50, of Arjay, who was coming out the back door. During questioning, police saw two dogs standing in the window that were covered in mange and severely malnourished.

Deputies then asked to examine any other dogs in the home when Lane opened the door and 12 other dogs who appeared to be starving and needed medical attention ran out.

During a search of the home, deputies found a bag of suspected crystal meth, a glass pipe with burnt residue and a small bag of what they believed to be Suboxone. All three of the people there denied that the items belonged to them.
