2/12/26 - LCSO Case 19-7563   
  
Former Creswell resident convicted of animal neglect arrested in California, extradited to Lane County   
  
In October of 2019, Lane County Sheriff’s deputies served a search warrant at a property in the 33000 block of Camas Swale Road while investigating ongoing animal abuse. Lane County Animal Services and Oregon Humane Society assisted. A total of 61 horses were removed from the property after being assessed by a licensed veterinarian. Many were emaciated and determined to be malnourished. Several horse carcasses were located on the property, and some rescued horses did not survive. The incident required a significant amount of work from multiple agencies and community partners.    
  
After additional investigation, Gwenyth Ellen Davies, 55, of Creswell, was arrested for Animal Neglect in the 2nd Degree (Felony). Davies later plead guilty to 11 counts of Animal Neglect in the 2nd Degree, was sentenced to probation, and ordered to pay restitution to the state.    
  
Davies instead disappeared. As a result, Lane County Circuit Court issued an extraditable warrant for her arrest in 2023. A deputy determined Davies was likely in California and notified law enforcement in the area. The deputy continued the investigation as new information arose.    
  
In January of 2026, Davies was arrested on the warrant by the Los Angeles Police Department as she re-entered the U.S. at a port of entry in the Los Angeles area. Extradition was approved by the Oregon Office of the Governor.    
  
On February 12th, 2026, Davies was lodged at the Lane County Jail on the warrant.    
  
The Lane County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the many agencies involved in this investigation, including the Lane County District Attorney’s Office, Oregon Humane Society, Oregon Department of Justice, Butte County Sheriff’s Office, Los Angeles Police Department, U.S. Customs & Border Protection, and numerous community partners that assisted with the evaluation and care of the horses in 2019.
