Second Man Charged In Century Animal Cruelty Case
August 8, 2016
A second Century man has been arrested in connection with an animal cruelty case.
Johnny Jackson Grimes was charged with unlawful confinement or abandonment of an animal and booked into the Escambia County Jail.
Escambia County Animal Control, Panhandle Equine Rescue and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office seized three severely malnourished horses from a property in the 2500 block of Highway 168, near Shaw Road, near Century on May 27, 2015.
According to court documents in the case, two of the horses had bones that were projecting and visible due to malnourishment. The horses were unable to graze due to a lack of grass in their quarter of an acre enclosure. It appeared that the horses had no water and no one caring for them for some time.
The horses were rehabilitated by Panhandle Equine Rescue.
As we reported last week, Monroe Kemp Moore, Jr., age 51, was previously charged with two counts of unlawful confinement or abandonment of an animal. He was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $10,000 bond and with a judge’s order to not possess any animals.

There’s no way to excuse the actions of these men. If you aren’t able to take care of them, then you shouldn’t have them. It takes a lot of work to own any animal. But to see them in these conditions is heartbreaking. Thank you, PER, for all of the hard work that you do. I wish you didn’t have to. To see how far at least one (I can’t figure out who the darker one is), I’m so very glad they were able to come back. Thanks, too, to ECSO for your help in the case.
Why are people making excuses for these men there no excuse.they need to to jail with out food and water
I know that Kemp’s horses were being fed maybe not as much as required but I know he fed the two that were his and wormed them. The one horse was very old it was about that time anyway
I don’t understand how these guys can sleep at night knowing the condition of these horses. Unless they were bringing in hay, a quarter of an acre is not enough. Hopefully they will never be allowed to have animals again.
