An Oklahoma man is facing multiple charges after more than 80 horses were seized from his Muskogee County property.

Muskogee County Sheriff’s Office investigator Melissa Jackson said department personnel responded to a call requesting a welfare check on animals residing on a property owned by Daniel McWilliams on Feb. 7. The caller reported seeing the carcasses of four dead horses near a fenceline between McWilliams’ ranch and a neighboring property, she said.

“We walked the property and found 18 deceased cows and horses,” Jackson said.

On Feb. 8, acting on a warrant, sheriff’s investigators discovered 86 horses and 113 cattle alive on the ranch, all of which were allegedly malnourished, Jackson said
