PRATTVILLE — Police in Prattville have charged a man with a dozen counts of cruelty to animals and dog fighting.
Titus Cortez Daniels, 36, was arrested Friday, Police Chief Mark Thompson said. The dozen dogs, most appearing to be American pit bull terriers, were found chained in a wooded area off Indian Hills Road. Daniels is being held in the Autauga Metro Jail under cash bonds totaling $97,000.
The total breaks down to $25,000 on the dog fighting charge and $6,000 each on the cruelty to animals charges.
Patrol officers answering an unrelated call in the area developed intelligence that led to a raid on the property. The area is in the city limits but is rural.
