The Sarpy County Attorney's Office says Edward Luben of Papillion has been booked on suspicion of seven felony and five misdemeanor charges for the cruel neglect of animals in his care.
Last December, the Nebraska Humane Society and Papillion Police Department used a search warrant at 822 Kilkinny Circle in Papillion to recover evidence of the cruel neglect of animals.
The County Attorney says animal control officers seized and removed 665 animals from the home, including exotic birds, reptiles, amphibians and mammals.
Approximately 70 of the 665 animals were found deceased during the search, and two animals had to be immediately euthanized due to the extent of their injuries.
The Nebraska Humane Society evaluated and treated the surviving animals.
Luben’s next scheduled court appearance is Friday morning.
