Hewitt A. Grant II, convicted of 80 counts of animal cruelty, will serve time in the place he is most hated - Polk County Animal Control.

A judge on Thursday sentenced the former pit bull owner to 364 days in jail, 5 years of probation and 500 hours of community service at the animal shelter that cared for his abused dogs. Grant's case was profiled in last year's Floridian story "Kennel Trash."

A year ago today, officers from Polk County Animal Control and the Sheriff's Office raided Grant's property in Mulberry. At the sentencing Thursday, officer Mary Kirkland described that scene to the judge: "An ocean of frail bodies covered the property. Pitiful little eyes gazed on with curiosity at the activity surrounding them."

She described heavy chains, battle scars, and puppies that ate "like piranhas" when the officers fed them. Many of Grant's dogs were sick and starving and had to be euthanized immediately.

The jury that found him guilty of the 80 misdemeanors this month acquitted Grant on 43 felony cruelty charges and on a charge of owning equipment for baiting or fighting.

All of his pit bulls, deemed unsuitable for adoption because of their breed and ownership history, were eventually euthanized at animal control.
***********************************
This is a local case for me/us, and we're heavily involved.

It seems that Mr. Grant has a year. A year before being released into my world.

Mr. Grant, I know your family, I know your history. I've been involved in this case from the beginning. You'll know well when the time comes to pass.

For punishment.

How is she doing? Post some more pictures of her if you get a chance.

This Grant guy is a real piece of shit, but don't do anything that will get you into trouble. The dogs need you!!

2. No.

All those dogs were euthanized by county animal control, even the puppies.
