Man arrested, accused of stealing and slaughtering horse in 2019 in Palmetto
Almost a year after a horse was stolen and later found slaughtered in a nearby field, deputies said a man has been arrested for the crime.
The Manatee County Sheriff's Office said surveillance video shows Eladio Garcia-Gasca on a woman's property the night her horse was stolen.
In the video, Garcia-Gasca is seen walking near a barn and shining a flashlight in a stable.
Garcia-Gasca was arrested on Oct. 15 at his home in north St. Petersburg and booked into the Pinellas County Jail. He's charged with grand theft and animal cruelty.
