STANTON - The Montcalm County Sheriff's Office hopes to complete its investigation and submit a report to County Prosecutor Andrea Krause this week on an animal cruelty investigation in Six Lakes.
Undersheriff Bill Burden said Wednesday that "a few things" remain to be completed before the investigation is wrapped up into the incident one week ago today at 9074 N. Derby Road. Last Thursday deputies and County Animal Control officers removed one live dog and the carcasses of two dogs, a goat and a pig from the residence.
Meanwhile, County Controller-Administrator Chris Hyzer still is assembling a timeline of when animal control officers and other agencies responded to the address.
Neighbors reported the animals hadn't been fed for weeks. Some of the dead dogs had been partially eaten by other dogs.
Animal control also removed three live dogs from the same address earlier this month.
