In Montrose County, Colorado, a man initially facing misdemeanor charges for 84 counts of animal cruelty now confronts more severe felony charges. This development follows an announcement by Seventh Judicial District Attorney Anna Cooling on Tuesday, citing a reevaluation of the case and a prior offense by Scott Flores, 61.

The situation first came to light on May 31 when the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office received a report about a dead horse found on Flores’ property. The situation escalated when, two weeks later, another call reported a second deceased horse at the same location.

In response, the Bureau of Animal Protection (BAP), part of the Colorado Department of Agriculture, became involved. By June, they had secured an administrative search warrant, which enabled investigators to assess and document the conditions on the property.

About a month later, a second search warrant was executed, with this time three veterinarians and BAP and MCSO investigators also in attendance.

A goat, four dogs and 79 horses were removed and transferred to a BAP holding facility for additional health assessments.

Flores is to appear in Montrose County Court on Oct. 21 for advisement of the charges.
