‘Feces on the floor, urine, and no running water’: Town Creek woman jailed for animal cruelty
TOWN CREEK, Ala. (WAFF) - A Town Creek woman was arrested on aggravated cruelty to animals charges, according to court documents obtained by WAFF 48.
Authorities responded to a home on Highway 101 in Town Creek on Thursday and met with an animal control officer who took custody of four dogs.
According to court documents, all four dogs were malnourished. The inside of the home was “unlivable due to feces on the floor, urine, and no running water,” the same documents allege.
Rachel Ruston was arrested for four courts on four counts of aggravated cruelty to animals.
Court documents also show that she previously pled guilty in October 2024 to three counts of animal cruelty in Town Creek.
Ruston is now in the Lawrence County Jail on the new charges.
