- New York, USA -
Cayuga County Sheriff Brian Schenck announced the arrest of 38-years-old BRANDON A. CARLSON (pictured), of Seneca Falls.
In a media release, Sheriff Schenck said that the arrest is the result of an investigation that was launched on November 11, 2023, after a dog was found deceased in the town of Springport under “suspicious” circumstances.
The investigation determined that CARLSON “intentionally contributed to the death of the dog through physical abuse.” Investigators then obtained a warrant for CARLSON’s arrest for the charges of aggravated cruelty of an animal, and tampering with physical evidence, both felonies.
On March 27, 2024, CARLSON was located and taken into custody. He was then turned over to the county’s Centralized Arraignment Part court and released on his own recognizance. CARLSON is due back in the Town of Springport Court at a later date.
Sheriff Schenck encourages anyone who has information about this case to contact detectives at (315) - 253 - 1610. Alternatively, tips can be submitted online. Thank you!
I emailed Cayuga County District Attorney Brittany Grome Antonacci to request additional information about the Voiceless Victim, his/her pictures, and the necropsy results. In an email I was told that “Because the case is still pending in Court, we cannot legally release any of the requested information. Once the case is resolved, you can submit a subsequent request for this information. I can share that we are in possession of photographs and a necropsy report.”
Ms. Antonacci also said that the dog was not CARLSON’s.
I took the liberty of naming the Voiceless Victim Indigo, for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.
