According to police, they executed the search warrant two months ago and seized more than 500 animals. After the investigation, they issued a felony warrant for animal cruelty/abandonment/neglect against 36-year-old Javon Pherras Stacks.

Inside, police found over 300 hedgehogs, six Flemish giant rabbits, three large iguanas, two kangaroos, a peacock, silver fox and a 16-foot reticulated python.

Police are asking anyone who knows his whereabouts to contact them at 734-941-8400 or encourage him to turn himself in.

They did turn over all of the animals to people who could properly take care of them.
