A Yazoo County man who was charged with keeping 15 starving horses was found guilty in Justice Court last week.
Alvin Ross was found guilty of nine counts of confining an animal without food.
Justice Court Judge Pam May also ordered Ross to relinquish all rights of the animals.
The case has made headlines over the last several weeks after a pasture in Little Yazoo was discovered with starving horses and the carcasses of several other horses.

Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
