PARK COUNTY — Texas businessman Jeffrey Scott Hawn has been charged with 32 counts of aggravated cruelty to animals in connection with the killing last winter of 32 bison owned by South Park rancher Monte Downare.
The animal-cruelty charges allege that between Feb. 26 and March 14, the 44-year-old Hawn unlawfully and knowingly “tortured, needlessly mutilated, or needlessly killed” the animals. Hawn is also charged with one count of theft of more than $20,000 and a single count of criminal mischief. Howard Pankratz, The Denver Post
