Two receive prison sentence for stealing horses from Thistledown

Two men convicted of stealing two horses from their stalls at Thistledown in North Randall, Ohio, were sentenced to six months in prison.

Assistant [Cuyahoga] County Prosecutor Jeffrey Kocian asked Judge Eileen T. Gallagher to give 37-year-old defendants Charles Burneson, a licensed trainer, of Chippewa Lake and John Queen of Grove City the maximum 18 months in prison for theft, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. The horses—Jakeman and For All You Girls--were sold to a slaughterhouse after the pair sold them for $250 apiece to an auctioneer.

"What we have here are two barbarians who saw nothing but meat walking around with four legs," Kocian said, according to the Plain Dealer.

Both horses were going to be donated by owner-trainer Mike Newell of Fort Erie, Ontario, to Canter, a nonprofit farm that enables racehorses to live out their lives as show horses, breeding stock, or pets.

Gallagher also ordered that the Ohio Racing Commission be notified of the pair's convictions and sentencing.
