When officers arrived at the home, Mr. Sams refused to come outside for more than an hour and then proceeded to resist arrest. He however was charged and booked for aggravated animal cruelty and resisting arrest. The dog named C.J. is a young seven month old Husky mix who suffered with skin missing from the paws, bottoms of his paws, back legs, a little under the belly. There was swelling but luckily no broken bones.

Inside the home they also found another dog named Angel, a pitbull mix, that was tied to a cinder block with no food, water or shelter. Authorities also rescued a fish from the home.
