Gilbert grifters grab for greenbacks

At this point most Arizonans are aware of the disturbing saga* of the dogs who died agonizing heat-related suffocation deaths in a small windowless utility room, sans air conditioning at Green Acre kennel. Nearly two dozen family pets entrusted to the owner’s care suffered excruciating deaths last summer. Todd and MaLeisa Hughes, the kennel owners, were vacationing out of state when the deaths occurred. They left the boarding facility and pets in the care of their daughter and son-in-law Logan and Austin Flake. Austin is the son of Arizona U.S. Senator Jeff Flake.

All four of them have been indicted on felony and misdemeanor charges relating to the June 20 gruesome incident. The indictment charges the Hugheses with 22 felony counts and 7 misdemeanor counts of cruelty to animals, and one felony count of fraudulent schemes and artifices. Austin and Logan Flake are each charged with 21 felony counts and 7 misdemeanor counts of cruelty to animals. The pets had neither food nor water in their stomachs, according to the veterinarian who performed necropsies on the dogs. The Flakes did not call for veterinary assistance, opting to hose down the dogs and then callously pile their carcasses in a shed.

The four family members are also charged in a civil lawsuit.

Displaying an abysmal lack of judgment to go with her boorish coarseness MaLeisa Hughes, (news video) and her husband Todd, have now taken to begging for money for their legal defense on a GoFundMe online account. They are seeking $50,000.

I once worked at a place were a couple were employed. Their last name was “Flakes.”

I never succeeded in getting ANYONE to understand that “Have you seen the Flakes this morning?” was incorrect. Even pointing out that you don’t say “keeping up with the Jones” didn’t work.

Off course, you see signs on houses all the time, saying:

The Smith’s
The Jone’s
The Jones’

So why didn’t they keep the dogs in an air conditioned room?

[Dawgreg]

Screw all of ‘em. I wouldn’t give them a dime.....NONE of them!

[Regulator]

Normally dont associate relatives behavior with people in office.

All families have miscreants.

But Flake himself embodies a glib, slippery indifference to facts and morality.

Apparently it really is a family trait.

Sounds like a chip off the old block, Flake that is. Isn’t his father trying to do the exact same thing to we the people right now with regards to the Budget Fraud Bill?

“So why didn’t they keep the dogs in an air conditioned room?”

Apparently they were in an air-conditioned room, but one of the dogs chewed through the electric cord (with whatever consequences ensued for that dog) and the AC went off.

The place needed to be checked during the day, and perhaps several times; apparently they only checked once a day (or even at night) and so weren’t aware that the AC was off.

Evidently Flake didn't even do that considering the dead animals were found to have no food or water whatsoever in their stomachs.......

[Jeff Chandler]

one of the dogs chewed through the electric cord

So they left the power cord to the A/C within the dog's reach, knowing that dogs never chew anything.

Lock these subhumans in a metal box without food or water and let them stay there outside in AZ for 3 days. Then unlock the box after donning gas mask. That’s what such cretins deserve.
