Animals Seized
MEDFORD, Okla. (AP) - A Wakita man will be formally sentenced September 23rd after entering a blind plea to seven felony and two misdemeanor counts. George Wesley Gilchrist was set to stand trial in Grant County District Court on Monday on seven counts of cruelty to animals and two counts of leaving a carcass in a well, spring, pond or stream. Prosecutors say Gilchrist didn't make a deal with the state and a presentence investigation will be conducted to determine if he's at risk of being a repeat offender. According to an affidavit, sheriff's deputies discovered the carcasses of about 34 domestic animals and a number of other decaying carcasses and bones at Gilchrist's property near Medford in December 2006. Two mules were found dead in the animals' only water source. Deputies also found two dead pigs and two other pig carcasses. Authorities say six horses were seized from the property, and several others were euthanized. What others are saying
