Deceased Animals

On June 14, 2018 the Laurens County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to 435 Kennedy Rd in Gray Court in reference to an assault. The victim of this assault was treated on scene by EMS and then transported to the hospital for further treatment. Deputies later located the suspect, Timothy Edward Glassford, in a wooded area near a creek and he was taken into custody without incident. Mr. Glassford was transported to the Johnson detention center where he was booked for Assault and Battery of a high and aggravated nature.

On June 20, 2018 Laurens County Animal Control Officer Jiles Gilmer requested the assistance of the Laurens County Sheriff’s Office at 377 Kennedy Rd, which is the residence of Mr. Glassford. Upon arrival, Deputies were informed that animal control personnel responded to this location the previous day (6/19/18) and had located numerous dogs in and around the residence, including at least one dog which was deceased. This dog was left at the scene by animal control, who went back to the residence on today’s date (6/20/18). Upon further investigation, Deputies located at least 3 more deceased dogs in the residence. Animal Control is taking possession of the remaining animals at the residence.

Laurens County Sheriff’s Office Deputies are seeking warrants on Mr. Glassford for ill treatment of animals due to the condition which these animals were living in and the deceased animals on the property.
