July 20, 2023 - Sheriff Kevin W. Windham reports the arrest of Leigh Ann Cartwright, X’Zavier Cartwright, and Kayden Cartwright.
On July 14, 2023, investigators with the SCSO began investigating a report of dogs that were malnourished. SCSO Investigator Aaron Jones and Shelby County District Attorney Investigator Kevin Sage traveled to the residence in Shelbyville and located the animals in question. Due to the conditions of the animals, they were removed from the residence and placed in the care of another individual.
Leigh Ann, X’Zavier and Kayden Cartwright were arrested for Cruelty to Non-Livestock Animal (M-A) and transported to the Shelby County Jail. The three were arraigned by Justice of the Peace Precinct 5 Tracy Broadway, granted $1,000 personal bonds and released on July 15.
The SCSO would like to thank the Shelby County District Attorney’s Office for their assistance with this case.
