BRADFORD D. DUPLANTIS accused of purposely killing a two-and-a-half-week-old puppy

- Mississippi, USA -

The Biloxi Police Department arrested 33-year-old BRADFORD D. DUPLANTIS (pictured).

On the early morning of Saturday, April 4, 2026, at a home on Floyd Drive, as DUPLANTIS was involved in a fight with two other men, he intentionally crushed a two-and-a-half-week-old Husky puppy.

Police said the puppy sadly died at the home.

Hours later, officers with the Biloxi Police Department responded to a medical call in the 300 block of Jim Money Road, in reference to a male suffering from “life-threatening” injuries. That male was DUPLANTIS who was able to escape and seek help knocking on the door of a residence on Jim Money Road.

DUPLANTIS turned himself in at the Biloxi Police Department on an active felony warrant for aggravated cruelty to a dog. Justice Court Judge Albert Fountain set a $25,000 bond and DUPLANTIS was taken to the Harrison County Adult Detention Center.

At the time of writing, records show DUPLANTIS is still in custody.
