Sick Puppies Found at Home of Man Already Wanted on Animal Cruelty Charges

A Lacombe-area man, wanted on Animal Cruelty charges, was arrested Saturday (January 25, 2025) afternoon after eight more sick puppies were located at his residence.

St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s deputies were at the home on Shady Pine Road Saturday attempting to arrest 36 year-old Steven Sims on an outstanding warrant. Sims was wanted for six counts of Animal Cruelty in connection with a previous case.

The dogs, all puppy age, were located in very poor condition inside a screened-in porch at his residence.

Sims was later located at a nearby gas station and taken into custody.

He was booked into the St. Tammany Parish Correctional Center on the warrant along with eight additional counts of Animal Cruelty.

St. Tammany Parish Animal Services took possession of the puppies.
