Flake In-Laws Get 23 Days Jail For Death Of 23 Dogs
As expected, a settlement agreement was entered into this week with in-laws of Sen. Jeff Flake’s son. Jesse Todd Hughes and Maleisa Maurine Hughes, owners of the Green Acres Boarding facility in Mesa for the death of 23 dogs left in their care. The pleas were issued following consultation with and agreement by the victims.
The defendants each pled guilty to one count of facilitation to commit fraudulent schemes and artifices, and one count of cruelty to animals, both Class 6 felonies. They will both serve 23 days in jail without the possibility of work release, work furlough, home detention or compliance monitoring. Additional terms stipulate that the defendants:
•shall not acquire any new animals;
•shall not operate or work at any boarding facility for animals;
•shall perform at least 230 hours of community restitution;
•shall not comment, discuss and/or post about this case on social media;
•shall write a letter of apology to be read in court for the victims and the public. Acceptance of plea shall be deferred for Victims’ Rights.
