The Fremont County Sheriff’s Department reports a Farragut man was arrested last week on an Animal Neglect charge after four horses were found on a Fremont County farm. Two of the animals were severely emaciated. 22-year old Thomas James Sammons was also charged with Interference with Official Acts.  He plead guilty to both charges and was ordered to pay fines amounting to $400. As we reported last week, an Arabian and three quarter horses were confiscated from a farm near Farragut, on Jan. 21st. Authorities say Sammons released the animals while officials were making arrangements to have them removed from the property.
