SUNBURY, Ohio (WCMH) — A man whose Delaware County home went viral and led to the seizure of 40 dogs by the local dog warden has received multiple charges.

The Sunbury resident had a warrant put out for his arrest Thursday and was charged in Delaware County Municipal Court with 30 misdemeanor counts of prohibitions concerning companion animals. The Delaware County Dog Warden previously removed the dogs on Sunday from a property in the 7000 block of Kilbourne Road in the northeastern part of the county.

The 40 dogs were mostly believed to be pit bulls and pit bull mixes, and were removed from the suspect’s property after a video on TikTok showing their living conditions went viral over the weekend. They are now being cared for by the Delaware County dog shelter and the county’s humane society.

Despite rumors online, Delaware County Dog Warden Mitchell Garrett said Monday that there was “no evidence of dog fighting” at the property. He could not go into details due to the ongoing investigation, but said the outside of the property mirrored photos and videos posted to social media.

The suspect — who online court records show was charged with animal cruelty in North Carolina in 2012 — has a warrant out for his arrest with a $2,500 bond.
