The man who was arrested after more than a dozen dogs were rescued from a filthy camper filled with feces and urine has been sentenced.
In March, 45-year-old Jaydee Sims was arrested and charged with 21 counts of Cruelty of Animals. The Panhandle Humane Society and local veterinarians stepped in to nurse the dogs back to full health before getting the adopted to proper homes.
Last week in court, Jaydee Sims was sentenced after pleading no contest to eight of the class 1 misdemeanors, and was sentenced to a total of 18 months in jail and nearly $3,000 in restitution.
His wife and co-defendant- 41-year-old Sadonya Sims will be back in court in October as she still faces 21 counts in this case.
