Man Accused of Starving a Dog

Finding a starving animal last September was alleged with a Sheriff’s Office arrest last Friday. 33-year-old Detanyo Lee Quarles of Douglas Road, Gray Court was charged with Ill Treatment of Animals.

An investigation by Animal Control Deputy Brown is cited as indicating that on September 25th of 2020 Mr. Quarles willfully starved a dog in his care and control. He allegedly allowed the dog to become emaciated to the point that the dog’s ribs, hips and spine were showing, and the dog’s face was sunken in. The dog reportedly had a body score of 1 out of 9.

Detanyo Lee Quarles was released on a $5,000 personal recognizance bond.
