Hazel Trexler posts bond, Terry still in jail on animal cruelty charges

Posted: Updated:

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - There are new developments in the animal cruelty case against the Trexler family.

Georgia prison officials tell WIS News 10 Hazel Trexler is out of a Georgia jail, while her son Terry is still in jail there.

Mrs. Trexler and her two sons, Terry and James, were arrested last month after malnourished horses were found on the family farm in Richland County.

In addition to the charges here, Mrs. Trexler and Terry also faced animal cruelty charges in Jefferson County, Georgia.

The Trexlers' next court date is scheduled for Tuesday in Richland County.
 
Hazel Trexler faces 28 charges of ill treatment toward animals, and Terry faces 23 counts of the same charge.

Terry's brother James Trexler, the former Assistant Commissioner of Agriculture, stepped down from his position last week after being suspended.

He faces five counts of ill treatment toward animals in Richland County.
