Fair Play man allegedly mistreated canines

An elderly Fair Play man has been jailed in Oconee County on multiple charges of ill treatment of animals. Tyce Ronald Cobb, 71, of the Dobbins Bridge Road was arrested Monday afternoon on warrants signed by animal control officer Shaun Honea. Cobb is accused of depriving three-week old male and female mixed boxer canines of necessary sustenance and shelter by placing them into a box and dumping the box on the side of the road, abandoning the animals. The incidents are alleged to have occurred April 4 on the Durham Brown Road near I-85.
