On May 29, deputies from the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office arrested Howard Blair, 55, of Palm Coast, on a warrant for aggravated animal cruelty, which resulted in the death of a 15-month-old American Bulldog/Labrador Retriever mix named Nutmeg.
On January 25, deputies responded to a residence in Palm Coast to investigate an animal complaint. Upon arrival, deputies discovered that Nutmeg, one of five dogs living inside the home, had passed away the night before.
While investigating the animal’s death, deputies learned that Blair had strangled Nutmeg to death after she bit one of the other dogs during feeding. Blair then wrapped Nutmeg in a blanket, placed her in a plastic bin, and buried her in the backyard.
On May 27, based on evidence obtained during the investigation, detectives obtained a warrant for Blair’s arrest. On May 29, deputies located and arrested Blair for aggravated animal cruelty. He was transported to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility, where he was released on a $2,500 bond

AGGRAVATED CRUELTY TO ANIMALS as reported in the Georgia Gazette
Offender Name: Renee Clark Offenders Last Known Address: Folkston, Georgia, 31537 She rents. Landlord said NO MORE ANIMALS. At the start of her lease she had 1 older cat (Fluffy Grey male) that the Landlord agreed to. She neglected the cat so badly that I took it to NCAS and they had to put him down due to severe malnutrition and illness. She then brought a female kitten into the house and neglected to vet the cat, later releasing it outside because it pooped outside the box. She is now trying to "adopt" (take possession of a friend's 2 cats) and was told NO by the Landlord.
