A 45-year-old Surprise woman is behind bars on the afternoon of Aug 2 for felony animal abuse. Lindsey Smith with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office said it's one of the worst cases she's seen in years.

"Originally eight horses - three were put down immediately due to starvation issues, physical abuse - really nasty stuff," she said.

Cynthia Voss originally faced misdemeanor charges but after careful review of the situation, she now faces more series charges.
