A member of the Havasupai Tribe must give up his four horses and will face three years of supervised probation after pleading guilty to two animal cruelty misdemeanor charges on Thursday. Leland Joe will be prohibited from owning or caring for horses during his probation and must also pay $1,200 in restitution as part of the plea agreement.
Joe was arrested in April and charged with two felonies and two misdemeanors related to cruel neglect and failure to provide necessary medical attention to one of his horses in the village of Supai in Grand Canyon. The felony charges have since been dismissed.
Three other horses on Joe’s property that displayed signs of severe malnourishment and had visible sores also were confiscated by state and federal authorities when they investigated Joe’s property on April 14. Joe spent five days in jail after his arrest.
The $1,200 in restitution will go to the Coconino Humane Association, which is caring for the horses. All of
the animals appear to have been used as pack horses to haul tourists and other gear to and from the rim of Grand Canyon to the village of Supai and Havasupai Campground seven miles and 2,000 feet below.
