WASHINGTON COUNTY, Tenn. (WJHL) — Zachary N. Miller, 24, faces four counts of animal cruelty after deputies with the Washington County, Tennessee Sheriff’s Office (WCSO) found “multiple” dead animals at a Cash Hollow Road property.

According to a news release from the WCSO, deputies responded to the 400 block of Cash Hollow Road on Sunday.

Upon arrival, deputies reportedly smelled decaying animals near a barn on the property.

Dead animals, including a pig, two domesticated rabbits and 10 chickens, were found by deputies, the release stated.

“Miller stated that a raccoon killed the 10 dead chickens,” the sheriff’s office said. “Deputies discovered decaying in feed bags at the barn. An agent for the Department of Agriculture responded to the scene as well and determined the rabbits found deceased were domestic rabbits.”

“A dog, which was chained outside of the barn, did not have access to clean water,” the WCSO said in the release. “The bucket of water Miller indicated was the dog’s water source was filled with algae and worms.”

Miller reportedly surrendered the dog to animal control.

The sheriff’s office reported that Miller is out on a $5,000 bond and is set to appear in court Monday.

Additional charges from the Department of Agriculture are pending due to Miller not disposing of dead livestock, the WCSO stated.
