NEW BERLIN – The man whose six horses were shot and killed in a neighbor vs. neighbor dispute was arrested himself Thursday.
New York State Police say Joseph Mocco Jr., 68, of 612 Hunts Pond Road, New Berlin, has been charged with one count of unlawfully allowing a breeding animal to roam, a violation of Section 95 of the NYS Agriculture and Markets Law. Troopers say a bull owned by Mocco was found on his neighbor’s property without consent of the land owner.
