Horse owners sentenced in animal cruelty case By Brandon Oland, Times Staff Writer Carroll County Times
The owners of 26 horses impounded and taken to Days End Horse Farm Rescue last May were sentenced to 90 days of prison in Garrett County District Court.
Richard Ray Friend and Carol Friend pled guilty to seven counts of animal cruelty for failing to provide sufficient food, drink, shelter and veterinary care for the horses. Nineteen similar counts were dismissed in a plea agreement, according to a Days End Horse Farm release.
All 90 days of Carol Friend’s sentence were suspended. Richard Friend had 70 days of his sentence suspended. Both were placed on three years of probation.
