Can you imagine the stench?:
A Papillion man was sentenced Tuesday to three years in prison after being found guilty of three counts of felony cruelty to animals resulting in death.
Edward Luben, 57, agreed to enter the guilty pleas in exchange for the Sarpy County Attorney's Office dismissing nine other charges of cruelty to animals, including four felonies.
Luben was sentenced to three one-year terms in prison to be served one after the other. He also was ordered not own animals for 15 years.
In December 2021, the Nebraska Humane Society and the Papillion Police Department served a search warrant at Luben's house near 84th Street and Centennial Road to recover evidence of animal neglect.
Officials seized and removed 665 animals from the home, including exotic birds, reptiles, amphibians and mammals. About 70 of the 665 animals were found dead during the search, and two animals had to be euthanized due to the extent of their injuries.
The Nebraska Humane Society evaluated and treated the surviving animals.
