RACINE — A Racine man was sentenced Monday in connection to charges of child neglect and animal mistreatment.
Steven Burdo, 41, was found guilty of two counts of chronic neglect of a child where specified harm did not occur and two counts of mistreatment of animals causing death.
Each count of chronic neglect of a child received two years of initial confinement with three years of extended supervision. Each count of mistreatment of animals received two years of initial confinement with two years of extended supervision.
Burdo pleaded no contest to the four counts May 6.
He originally was charged with 36 additional counts regarding neglect of a child, intentional improper animal shelter regarding sanitation and intentionally mistreating animals. These charges were dismissed but read into the court record.
Burdo was charged alongside Sandra Lemke, who was sentenced April 25.
According to previous Journal Times reporting, on July 19, 2023, Racine County Human Services Department received a report about improper living conditions in Lemke and Burdo’s home on Loraine Avenue.
When social services and police entered the home, the smell of urine and feces was reportedly apparent. Two dead dogs reportedly were found in a child’s bedroom, and the Wisconsin Humane Society treated 16 live animals found in the home that were suffering from various injuries and illnesses.
The Racine Health Department later condemned the property.
