~ Update: January 26, 2023
I learned from Conway Police Department Chief Christopher J. Mattei that animal cruelty charges against JEDIDIAH HOUNSELL were dropped meaning the case was not brought forward in court.
In an email, Lieutenant Suzanne L. Kelley-Scott, with the Conway Police Department explained: “…………I am familiar with the case involving Mr. Hounsell and can confirm for you that the charge of Cruelty to Animals was Nolle Prossed. Additionally, there were no injuries to the dog as a result of the incident. Any supporting documents you may need regarding the charge being Nolle Prossed can be requested through the Carroll County Superior Court in Ossipee, New Hampshire.”
I have removed JEDIDIAH HOUNSELL from the Animal Abuser Registry and replaced his original mugshot.
~ Original story:
The Carroll County Attorney's Office has charged 24-year-old JEDIDIAH HOUNSELL, of Conway, with misdemeanor cruelty to animals, misdemeanor simple assault, and Class B felony second-degree assault.
The charges refer to an incident that happened on January 14, when HOUNSELL had an altercation with a relative, and then strangled the relative’s dog.
Conway police officer Christopher Kroski said that HOUNSELL fled the home and was arrested in the parking lot of nearby Varsity Beverage.
After HOUNSELL was taken into custody, Officer Kroski met with the relative involved in the incident at the station.
The relative told Officer Kroski that during the argument, HOUNSELL first beat him, and then picked up his dog.
HOUNSELL started strangling the furbaby before throwing the dog down.
Voice For Us has contacted Officer Kroski to inquire about the wellbeing of the dog, and an update will be posted if he responds.
