Leonard – Authorities have identified the four people charged with animal cruelty after dozens of dogs and cats were seized from a Leonard property last week.
54-year-old James Soaring Eagle Vonda, 47-year-old Yolanda Duke, 22 year-old Cody Sims, and 46-year-old Melinda Pappa, were believed to be living in tents outside the house.
The alleged abused animals were seized by the SPCA, who were acting on an anonymous tip.
They are currently being cared for at Perry Animal Care Center in McKinney. A custody hearing is set for Friday morning.
