Arrest made in Storey County Horse Abuse Case

On July 12, the Storey County Sheriff’s Office served a warrant issued by the Virginia Township 

Justice Court on Sally Summers of Gold Hill. Deputies placed Summers under arrest pursuant to the 

warrant on 20 counts of animal abuse/neglect and one count of resisting a public officer. Summers 

was taken into custody and booked at the Storey County Detention Facility, with a total bail of 

$20,640.00. This is still an active and ongoing investigation. Further charges are pending. 

The sheriff’s office responded to a report of possible animal abuse on July 4. Deputies found 18 

horses and burros in poor health and opened an investigation. The animals were removed on July 7 

by the sheriff’s office and local animal rescue organizations, and received veterinary care and 

rehabilitation.

HagenComment text: Maybe there is more to this story than what is reported, but it seems to me that the businesses that are causing this problem ought to be paying for this, or at least a major portion of it. Why does the County have to pay the whole bill?
