Munoz, who was previously convicted of animal cruelty after a May 2007 incident, was found guilty after he left animals outside without water or food. Deputies found multiple dead chickens on the ground and in cages in the 4800 block of Wauchula Road in Myakka City.
Deputies also discovered pigs eating off what appeared to be the corpse of another pig. Also, deputies had to tranport 10 pigs, 19 goats and six sheep away from the property because of their poor condition.
In that incident, Munoz was told “this action cannot continue.”
He was sentenced to serve 45 days in jail on the weekends, according to court records.
In a 2002 incident, he was accused of not giving animals enough air, food, water and exercise according to court documents.
He was found guilty of four counts, according to court records.
Munoz has also violated his probation, according to records.
Last month, he failed to check in with probation officers.
