Arlington couple charged with livestock neglect

WEST UNION, Iowa (AP) - Charges of livestock neglect and failure to properly dispose of animal carcasses have been brought against an Arlington couple.

The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports (https://bit.ly/1qJn5Yc ) that the charges are simple misdemeanors against 50-year-old Duane John Landis and 49-year-old Margaret Ann Landis.

The charges stem from an investigation that began Oct. 9 when Fayette County sheriff’s deputies executed a search warrant on the Landis property. At the time, five horses were removed from the property.

The newspaper says deputies also worked with the Landises to make sure carcasses found on the property had been properly disposed of.

A telephone listing for the Landises was no longer in service Saturday.
