Animal Rescue Worker Facing Charges

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Authorities filed eight additional animal cruelty-related charges against a Columbus woman who runs an animal rescue organization.

Lindsey Clouse now faces a total of 46 charges.

Police raided Clouse's west Columbus home two weeks ago after neighbors complained of open doors, windows and a nauseating smell.

"If the police had not come on to this scene, these poor animals in cages would have starved," said assistant city prosecutor Bill Hedrick.

Prosecutors said Clouse runs West Side Strays.
