A California woman was arrested after authorities discovered 27 dead horses on her multiple properties. The woman faces several charges, including animal cruelty.
A California woman was arrested Wednesday after authorities discovered 27 dead horses across multiple properties she owned. Jan Johnson, of Clements, was booked into the San Joaquin County Jail facing charges of animal cruelty, threatening a public official, criminal threats, and possession of a short-barrel shotgun. The arrest stems from an ongoing animal neglect investigation.
Sheriff's deputies, alongside Animal Services officers, executed a search warrant at properties in Clements, a town located roughly 40 miles southeast of Sacramento. 'During the operation, several malnourished horses were discovered on the premises with limited access to any food or water, and approximately 27 deceased horses were located,' the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office stated. Animal Services officers and veterinarians immediately began to assess and treat the horses. Unfortunately, four horses and one bull had to be euthanized due to the extent of the neglect. Sixteen horses were rescued and placed under the care of the Oakdale Equine Rescue, a dedicated organization that will provide the animals with the necessary medical attention, nutrition, and rehabilitation. \The sheriff's office indicated that due to the expansive nature of the properties, they are still in the process of evaluating other animals that were found during the search.
