Resident urges Fiscal Court to investigate Bullitt County Animal Shelter director after animals removed
Summary
At the June 17 Bullitt County Fiscal Court meeting, a resident, Sheila Metcalfe, asked the court to review actions by the county animal shelter and its director, saying animals were removed without notifying her and that she has filed a small claims case.
Sheila Metcalfe addressed Bullitt County Fiscal Court on June 17 to report that animals in her care were taken by the county animal shelter while she was incarcerated and that she was not notified of the removal. Metcalfe said she has filed a small claims action against the shelter and asked the court to investigate the current Animal Shelter Director, Tony Wilson, as the court previously reviewed a former director.
The request is part of the meeting’s public comment record; Magistrates did not announce a formal investigation or motion during the public comment portion. Metcalfe asked the court to look into the shelter director’s actions and to return her animals, and she referenced prior inquiry into a past director without providing a name for that prior review. The transcript records her statement that she was not notified and that she wants her animals back.
The court’s written record notes the complaint as public comment and that Small Claims court action has been initiated by Metcalfe. No formal action—such as a vote to investigate or staff assignment—appears in the meeting record provided.
