Authorities have added charges to the man accused of neglecting animals.

The investigation into an animal neglect case continued on Tuesday. A 10/11 News camera captured video of 54-year-old Blayne Glissman as he showed a Lancaster County sheriff's deputy around his farm. Officials with the Capital Humane Society were also on the scene.

Glissman was cited for animal neglect Monday after sheriff's deputies discovered more than a dozen dead or starving animals on his property.

Deputies were called to the area of Highway 77 and Mill Road north of Lincoln on Monday evening about a report of goats on the road. According to Sheriff Terry Wagner, deputies found the goats and attempted to find the owner. That's when they discovered more than a dozen dead or dying animals on a property at 5335 Mill Rd.

Sheriff Wagner said his deputies reported a strong odor and flies in the area. The carcasses were in various stages of decay. The animals included goats, sheep and calves.

"The flies, the smell was terrible. You can just imagine a bunch of animals in various stages of decay how putrid that would be, so it sounds like it was a pretty disturbing scene," Wagner said.

Glissman told deputies the animals were diseased and the carcasses were used as compost.

Sheriff Wagner said a veterinarian called in by deputies disputed that explanation.

"That's why we brought the veterinarian out because that was the explanation that there was a disease that had spread amongst the heard. The veterinarian said that's not the case, that it's neglect, lack of food and quality of nutrition," Wagner said.

Glissman was cited and released for animal neglect. He is scheduled to be in court on Oct. 1.

Sheriff Wagner said some of the animals were in better shape and looked like they were fed within the last couple of days. Video of the Glissman farm on Tuesday showed some animals that appeared to be in good health. Wagner said the incident is still under investigation.

Deputies went back to the property with Bob Downey from the Capitol Humane Society to check on the animals that were still alive.

Glissman didn't let them search the entire property, but after obtaining a search warrant they found a large number of carcasses still on the property. Glissman was cited for improper disposing of animal carcasses.

While on scene, deputies and Downey also found a dog that Glissman owned whose coat was matted and rubbed raw in places. Deputies say the dog looked thin and there was no food or clean water anywhere. Authorities say Downey thought the dog was neglected and took him to the humane society for cleaning and tests.

Glissman was cited on a new count of animal neglect

A spokesman with the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality said Blayne Glissman has worked for the agency for 10 years. Glissman is a compliance specialist with the livestock division. He inspects waste handling systems at livestock facilities.

Brian McManus with NDEQ said Glissman remains an employee. The agency is gathering information on the case.
