- New Jersey, USA -
The Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office announced that on Friday, July 15, 2022, 39-years-old GARY MOORE (pictured), entered a guilty plea to a 3rd degree animal cruelty charge resulting in the death of a 7-pound Yorkshire Terrier puppy named Mommas.
According to a press release, the terms of MOORE’s plea agreement with the State require a New Jersey State Prison sentence of 3 years.
The murderer is scheduled to be sentenced on August 26, 2022, before the Honorable Dorothy Garrabrant J.S.C.
“On January 7, 2020, Atlantic City Police responded to a 911 call from a very emotionally upset woman who came home to find the body of her deceased puppy”, stated the release.
Detective Malik Tolbert entered the woman’s apartment to find her hysterical. The woman told police she came home from work and could not find her Yorkshire Terrier puppy, Mommas. After looking for Mommas, the woman eventually found the furbaby “stuffed between the mattress and box spring of her bed. Mommas was deceased, her body badly beaten.”
Forensic experts determined that Mommas had suffered fatal blunt force trauma.
An investigation led to MOORE being charged with animal cruelty by purposely and cruelly causing the death of Mommas.
According to online records, MOORE is out of custody!
