MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A day after three former workers at the Memphis Animal Shelter were indicted on animal cruelty charges, police say the shelter’s former director has been arrested in New Mexico.
Shelby County authorities say former Memphis Animal Shelter director Ernest Alexander was arrested Friday in Albuquerque, where he also used to manage an animal shelter.
The Commercial-Appeal reported that the other two former employees, a supervisor and a veterinarian, turned themselves in Thursday and were released on $25,000 bond.
The three have each been indicted on six counts of aggravated animal cruelty to animals stemming from the deaths of three young terrier dogs.
