The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office has arrested a man for failing to care for his animals
after finding two dead and two sick calves on
his property, the office has announced.
Deputies encountered David Damschroder,
63, of 16419 Winburn Place, Sarasota, around
10:30 a.m., Monday, July 1, after receiving a report of a suspicious person in Damschroder's
neighborhood, according to the report. After
a third officer arrived on the scene, the report
continues, Damschroder "appeared to be very
agitated and argumentative." The report says
he even challenged one of the other deputies
to a fight.
After it began raining, Damschroder agreed to
let the officers transport him to his home, the
report notes.
