Constables Mark Pasquale tells the Herald-Standard in Uniontown they found 37-year-old Richard Allen Huey on Wednesday at the defunct Steve Courson Humane Society shelter in North Union Township. The constables say Huey slipped out a rear door as they arrived and remains at large.
The constables say Huey's wife, the couple's 8-month-old baby, and another infant they were babysitting were in the shelter with five dogs and several cats.
Pasquale tells the newspaper the couple had converted the shelter's office area into a makeshift apartment. But he says the animals were free to run throughout the building, which was littered with garbage, debris and animal feces.
