MARYVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Blount County authorities have charged a Maryville man with aggravated animal cruelty after finding dead roosters in his yard.
The Daily Times quotes a statement from Blount County Sheriff's spokeswoman Marian O'Briant who said a landlord called a deputy to help him evict a tenant on Saturday and the officer found 17 dead roosters and more than a dozen birds which were alive.
The department arrested 29-year-old Christopher Lee Arden on Sunday on a warrant taken out by the local chapter of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
The newspaper reported Arden was free on $1,500 bond and was due in court Wednesday.
The SPCA is caring for the live roosters.
