65 dogs were seized amid allegations of animal abuse. That case is now closed.
COTTONWOOD, Ala. - The case facing a Cottonwood man once charged with nearly 100 counts of animal abuse and neglect is finally over.
Jerome Wesley Hughes recently pleaded guilty to four misdemeanor charges and a judge dismissed other counts, ending the seven-year ordeal.The Humane Society of the United States claims Hughes operated breeding dogs for fighting that had been abused and malnourished, a claim that Hughes vehemently denied.
Working with Cottonwood police and other authorities, the Society seized the dogs, mostly of the dogo argentino breed, in 2015. A Houston County Grand Jury indicted Hughes the following year, a jury later convicted him on six felony charges and appeal courts upheld those convictions. Circuit Judge Larry Anderson sentenced Hughes to 100 days in a work release program followed by probation.
