GOLDEN — A man who dragged an elderly and malnourished horse through a pasture with his pickup was sentenced Thursday to one year in jail for felony aggravated animal cruelty.
John Wilmarth McCulley Jr. will serve one year in the Jefferson County jail work-release program as a condition of a five-year intensive supervision probation.
McCulley still faces sentencing on Wednesday for 36 additional counts of animal cruelty in connection with 27 horses seized from him first in 2007 and again in May 2009.
