CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP)- Two people in Albemarle County face charges following the recent seizure of malnourished horses.

Albemarle County Police Sgt. Darrell Byers says that 42-year-old Samantha Lynn Parker and 50-year-old Aubrey Luther Lamb are each charged with one cruelty to animals count. They were arrested Friday.

Byers says authorities found several horses in poor health and four dead horses during an investigation in the 5700 block of Jefferson Mill Road.

Authorities seized the malnourished horses in February and gave them to a local equine rescue group.
