PUTNAM COUNTY — The Putnam County Grand Jury has issued indictments for animal cruelty against Tara Neutzler and Donald Schoenthal, the same couple who were charged with hundreds of counts of animal abuse in Carroll County earlier.
The couple was being held in the Putnam County Jail on $10,000 bond each. Neutzler, age 44, and Schoenthal, age 53, are charged with three counts of animal cruelty and one count of aggravated animal cruelty.
The indictments follow a seizure by Putnam County deputies in May of more than 40 animals from what Sheriff Eddie Farris called “Inhumane conditions” at their Locust Grove Rd. home.
