More Charges Filed Against Couple Accused Of Abusing Horses
December 10, 2009
Additional charges have been filed against a North Escambia couple arrested on animal cruelty charges in October.
Robin Brownie Floyd, 53, and Lynn Livingston Floyd, 42, both of Gilmore Road, Century, pleaded not guilty in November to three counts each of confinement of animals without sufficient food or water. Now, prosecutors have filed five additional first degree misdemeanor animal cruelty charges against each Floyd.
Panhandle Equine Rescue received a tip that several thin horses were being moved by the Floyds to Santa Rosa County, according to PER President Diane Lowery. She said the horses were being transferred to a Santa Rosa County residence and then moved out of state to a horse rescue in Georgia. Lowery said that when PER investigated in September, they found three emaciated horses still on the Gilmore Road property. Warrants were issued, and the Floyds turned themselves in at the Escambia County Jail on October 15.
PER, Lowery said, took photos of the other horses to the State Attorney’s office and requested that there more more counts, “since every horse that suffered neglect mattered”.
A public defender has been appointed for Robin Floyd after the court found him to be indigent. Lynn Floyd has hired a private attorney. They are due back in court in early January, and their jury trials are scheduled to begin January 19. Both remain free on $6,000 bond each.

I don’t see why this is being taken so hard. In these times it’s hard enough to take care of yourself, let alone several horses. Everyone seems to skip the part where they were sending them to a Horse Rescue in Georgia. It’s not like they weren’t trying to do anything about it.
I agree with the redneck….there’s a shocker lol.
Why are they out on bond. Put them in jail and let them rot.
Maybe if we were to neglet them in Jail, maybe they would understand.
what were they thinking!!
