In a 91-page filing made with the Ogden Justice Court on Wednesday, the Ogden City Prosecutor’s Office accused 73-year-old Miguel Salgado-Vargas of 637 charges involving the mishandling of animals. Charges include cruelty to animals (169 counts), failure to obtain rabies vaccinations (149 counts), public nuisance animals-odors, condition, barking, chasing (169 counts), keeping unlicensed animals (149 counts) and one count of violating kennel or cattery regulations.

Prosecutors similarly filed charges against 50-year-old Ramon Cano Aispuro on Wednesday. Aispuro faces 338 charges, including cruelty to animals (169 counts) and public nuisance animals-odors, condition, barking, chasing (169 counts).

All charges are class B misdemeanors, with each carrying possible jail time of up to six months and possible fines of up to $1,000. Both Salgado-Vargas and Aispuro are scheduled to appear in court July 15.

The animals were removed from a home on the 3000 block of Jefferson Avenue on April 15 by a multitude of responding agencies. According to a release from Ogden City, Ogden Animal Control officers were assisted by units from Weber County Animal Control, the Weber County Animal Shelter, Roy Animal Control and Draper Animal Control.

The animals were ultimately taken to shelters and rescue organizations around the region, with some transported as far as Blackfoot, Idaho.

“We are grateful for the swift coordination between our local and regional partners that ensured every animal was removed safely and given the care it needed,” said Ogden Police Chief Jake Sube. “This case is a reminder of the importance of community reporting and regional cooperation.”

Per the Ogden City release, only 13 dogs remain at the Weber County Animal Shelter and are available for rescue. No animals required euthanasia. To ease overcrowding at the shelter and relieve strain on its already limited resources, a collective of local businesses held a pet adoption and donation drive April 27.
