“I want Dustin James Coker to get the maximum penalty under the law, which is, as I understand it for the felony of extreme animal cruelty, he could get up to 18 months incarceration.”

It would also mean a maximum $5,000 fine, if convicted.

KSLA News 12′s Jeff Ferrell attempted to speak with Coker. However, after knocking on the family’s door, someone locked it from inside.

A neighbor of the Coker’s says she rarely sees the family and has never spoken to them since she moved in a year ago. A check of the neighborhood and then at a nearby diner showed no one had even heard of this case — yet.
