- Indiana, USA -
The Parke County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of 28-years-old GREGGORY ALLEN FRANSTED (pictured) after he was identified as the guardian of two dogs who were found roaming along Sandridge Road, north of Lyford.
The sheriff’s office said that on January 24, 2023, deputies were alerted to the situation and responded to the area. Sergeant Brad McNeill and Deputy Kyle Stonebraker took the VOICELESS VICTIMS to the Parke-Vermillion County Humane Society “so they will be warm during the approaching inclement weather. They will also receive much needed medical care,” said the sheriff’s office in an initial statement.
Court records show that a warrant was issued for FRANSTED’s arrest on Friday, January 27, 2023. FRANSTED is charged with two counts of cruelty to an animal, a class A misdemeanor.
According to the sheriff’s office, FRANSTED is being held on a $5,000 bond.
Court records further show that FRANSTED’s pretrial conference is set to take place on March 30, 2023, at 1:30 p.m., followed by a hearing on April 18, 2023, at 9:00 a.m.
I have emailed the Parke County Sheriff’s Office and the Parke-Vermillion County Humane Society to inquire about the furbabies. If I get a response, I will post an update.

Oh that poor baby’s neck! Obviously this blessed soul was abused & both neglected. Why does anyone with any intelligence believe abandoning animals on a deserted road is okay? Punish this idiot & never permit him to be in the presence of animals ever again. Please get better Beautiful Souls, you’re safe now.
