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.
