Charges stayed in Edmonton area animal cruelty case

Feb 14, 2019 | 5:23 AM

EVANSBURG- Dozens of charges against a man involved in a horse cruelty case west of Edmonton have been stayed due to a lack of reasonable likelihood of conviction.

In December, RCMP and the Alberta SPCA received complaints of animal neglect at two properties near Evansburg.

Two men, Ross Atkinson and Robert Cornell, were charged along with Patricia Moore.

Now the charges against Atkinson have been stayed.
