Friends of Andrew Wordes, the Roswell man jailed Wednesday for violating his probation,  have placed the animals left at his property.

About a dozen volunteers showed up soon after his sentencing and spent the evening collecting more than 50 chickens and turkeys, four pigs and one dog to adopt out. The group plans to return Saturday to organize and landscape the property, said Patti Silva who participated in the effort.

Wordes', famed for his battles with the city over keeping livestock, is serving three months of a one-year sentence for code violations.
