Hope, above, and two other puppies, are in the care of St. Francis Animal 
Rescue after their Houston County owner was charged with animal cruelty in 
November.






A case has been dismissed against a Houston County man charged in November 
with animal cruelty. 
Charges against Sydney B. Warden, who gave a Tennessee Ridge address, were 
returned from a grand jury as a no true bill, meaning the case will not move 
forward to a trial. No decision has been made on whether the case will be 
presented to the grand jury at a later date, said Carey Thompson, assistant district 
attorney for the 23rd Judicial District. 
"It's kind of up in the air," Thompson said.
