MILWAUKEE, Wis. – Prosecutors say they expect to file charges next week against 2 people responsible for hundreds of reptiles found living in a Milwaukee house. The targets weren’t name, but investigators have reportedly been focused on Terry Cullen and Jane Flint.
Cullen has kept reptiles for years and consulted with several agencies. Flint is his girlfriend and she was arrested last week when police found the reptiles living in squalid conditions in a house in the 3400 block of South 17th Street.
In that house more than 250 animals, ranging from boa constrictors and anacondas to alligators and crocodiles were discovered. The floor was reportedly covered with hundreds of mice and rats. Many of the animals were kept in enclosures so small they couldn’t turn around. Waste was covered almost everything, according to witnesses.
