The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the Wayne County Prosecutor’s office is expected to announce charges Thursday in the case involving the housing of hundreds of Chihuahuas.

According to the paper, one charge that could result from the investigation is aggravated animal cruelty, a felony that carries a penalty of up to 4-years imprisonment.

More than 100 live and dead Chihuahuas were discovered in a house packed full of debris and animal waste on Orchard in Dearborn in July. The man who lived in the house, Kenneth Lang Jr., 56, was taken for psychiatric evaluation after the discovery, but recently has been living in a group home in Oakland County, his attorney told the Free Press.
