A Springfield man has been indicted on eight counts of cruelty to animals stemming from an investigation into the condition of several horses on his property.
Lee Coleman Krisle, 55, was arrested Wednesday Feb. 27. He has since been released on a $5,000 bond, according to the Robertson County Sheriff’s Office website.
The indictment claims Krisle failed to provide needed food and water, along with proper shelter and care for eight animals – seven horses and one mule. Documents also describe the mule as having an injured leg with wire wrapped around it.
“The skin was pulled away from the flesh with a piece of wire wrapped around it,” said LeighAnn McCollum, Tennessee state director of the Humane Society of the United States.
The horses appeared to be malnourished and their hip and rib bones were visible, she said.
