On Thursday, April 13, 2023 the Adair County Sheriffs Office executed a search warrant at a residence on R. Grider Rd along with an arrest warrant.
The investigation stemmed from multiple complaints from residents in the area of multiple pit bull dogs running loose. Reports included attacks on neighbors pets and an attempted attack on a female who was walking. The Sheriffs Office tried numerous times to get the owner to safely maintain the animals but was unsuccessful and was told to leave the property by the owner of the pit bulls.
Deputy Chris Tweedy is leading the investigation. He was assisted on the search warrant and arrest by additional Sheriff’s Deputies and Kentucky State Troopers.
The Sheriff's Office obtained affidavits from area neighbors and began a criminal investigation resulting in the arrest of the dogs owner, 46-year-old Christie Ferguson. She was lodged in the Adair County Regional Jail for harboring viscous animals and wanton endangerment.
Three Pit Bulls were seized by the Sheriff's Office and captured by Adair County Dog Warden Jimmy Harmon. The dogs were taken to the Adair County Animal Shelter where they will be held until a determination by the court is made.
