Two women accused of hoarding animals in their home will face a judge on soon Authorities say the women defied a judge’s orders as a condition of their release.

Aimee Lonczak and Michele Nycz could be taken from the Ocean County Courthouse to the Ocean County Jail after the hearing if the judge decides that they violated the orders.

Prosecutors say that the women showed up at the animal shelter in Stafford Township on Thursday and demanded that they be given back the seven dogs they consider to be their personal pets. This is something a judge explicitly told them not to do.

Shelter employees refused to give the dogs back and called the police.

Lonczak and Nycz were arrested in December after police found 129 dogs and 43 cats in their Arrowhead Park Drive home in Brick Township. Officials say the conditions were deplorable. The women were allowed to remain free until their trial as long as they stayed away from the animals.

Many of the animals were taken to the Stafford shelter to be cared for.

The judge also ordered that the women stay away from Lonczak’s 16-year-old daughter, who was living in the home at the time. Both women were also charged with child endangerment.

Prosecutors say that the teen was with the women at the animal shelter on Thursday.

The women were originally supposed to have a different court hearing so that Judge Linda Baxter could decide if they were going to be able to get their seven personal dogs returned to them. But instead, they will have to face a judge to answer to the allegations of violating the orders.

Attorneys for the women have not wished to comment on the case.

The Arrowhead Park Drive home has been boarded up. Investigators are waiting to hear on a cause of death for some of the dogs found inside the home.
