Man Charged With Abusing Horse Appears In Court; Has Name Corrected
July 7, 2015
A Molino man charged with animal cruelty in connection with a horse seized from a Molino property earlier this year was in court Monday.
Daniel Franklin Barrett, Jr., 36, appeared at an arraignment hearing before Judge Joyce Williams, but his arraignment was postponed until July 13.
He was originally arrested and charged as Daniel Barrett Francis, but the court took action to correct his name to Daniel Franklin Barrett, Jr. The name error was made in the judicial system, not due to any intentional act on Barrett’s part, according to the State Attorney’s Office.
Escambia County Animal Control and Panhandle Equine Rescue seized the horse from the 6000 block of Cedartown Road last February. According to a report provided by the State Attorney’s Office, the horse was being kept at a home under construction with insufficient food and water available on a daily basis. The report states that there was a water trough available to the horse, but it was full of about six inches of water that was not potable and contained algae and remnants of rotten hay.
There was also no shelter available for the horse, the report states.
Barrett was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $500 bond.

Dont matter if they did get his name wrong.he abused that lil horse and theyre is no excuse for it.dont matter if the house was being built.you dont run off and leave a horse with no running water,no food and no shelter. he needs more than a slap on the hand and let go.so sad this horse went without water and food.if you dont come back well give the horse away or call somone for help.theres no excuse and the book should be throwed at him.bet he didnt go without food or water.shame on you for doing that. rhank you people for finding him and getting him away from that awful place.he deserves a better life than that and now hes got a chance for life.
THAT OL BOY AIN’T MISSED NO MEALS. MAYBE HE NEEDS TO MISS SEVERAL IN A ROW TO SEE HOW IT FEELS.
