JAIRUS AMIR MING-SCRADERS arrested for recording himself torturing and abusing a dog

Updated: Sep 14

- Georgia, USA -


~ Update: September 14, 2025


On September 2, 2025, JAIRUS AMIR MING-SCRADERS (pictured), was convicted of three counts of aggravated cruelty to animals.


On the same day, MING-SCRADERS was also found guilty of several more charges in two other cases, including terroristic threats, reckless conduct, and theft by receiving stolen property.


The Fulton County Police Department said in a Facebook post that MING-SCRADERS was “sentenced to the MAXIMUM of 10 years in prison.”


MING-SCRADERS had been arrested back in January 2025, on accusations of recording himself torturing a defenseless dog named Bella for more than three months. The abuse inflicted on Bella led to a fractured skull and several other broken bones. The injuries Bella sustained were so serious that she was left paralyzed and she was sadly euthanized.

 

~ Original story:


The Fulton County Police Department arrested 23-year-old JAIRUS AMIR MING-SCRADERS (pictured), following a search warrant that its Animal Services Division and the SWAT Team executed at a residence on Country Drive in Atlanta.


According to the press release by the police, from an investigation it emerged that MING-SCRADERS “Convicted felon and gang member”, had been recording himself “torturing a dog over the course of the past three months.”


Police said that the last atrocious incident left the furvictim, named Bella, “paralyzed with a fractured skull and multiple other broken bones.” Sadly, due to the extent of the injuries sustained by Bella, she had to be euthanized.


According to the police, the residence was in deplorable condition with no running water, limited electricity, and floors covered in urine and feces. Moreover, authorities reported a severe roach and spider infestation.


Three additional dogs were found at the residence and were removed by Animal Services.


The Division of Family and Child Services was also called in as officials found two children living in the residence and the juveniles were subsequently removed.


MING-SCRADERS was taken into custody on two felony warrants for aggravated animal cruelty. Police said that at the time of his arrest, the savage was out on bond for multiple other felonies out of another jurisdiction.


On the scene authorities also arrested 18-year-old AMIRA GREGEANA WILKINS on unrelated felony charges.


Police said: “Animal cruelty is often committed in conjunction with domestic violence, gang activity, and other serious crimes like in this case. The mission of the Fulton County Police Department is to protect and serve our community which includes our animals.”


If it was possible to torture and abuse MING-SCRADERS until there was no more life inside of him, still, it would not be punishment enough for what he did to the poor dog!

JAN ANN JOHNSON arrested – Twenty-seven horses found dead and several others found malnourished

- California, USA -


The San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of 62-year-old JAN ANN JOHNSON (pictured).


According to the office’s release, on January 22, 2025, deputies along with Animal Services Officers executed a search warrant in Clements as part of an ongoing investigation into animal neglect.

During the search of multiple properties, officers discovered several malnourished horses with limited access to food or water. Sadly, officers also found the remains of twenty-seven horses.


Animal Services Officers along with veterinarians on site began to triage the surviving animals and while sixteen horses were rescued, one bull and four other horses were euthanized due to extreme neglect.


The sixteen horses are now in the care of the Oakdale Equine Rescue where they are receiving proper nutrition, medical attention, and rehabilitation. The rescue said in a Facebook post that sixty more horses were expected and stressed that the horses cannot be adopted as they are “THE PROPERTY OF SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL! We are assisting by housing them at this time. WE DO NOT OWN THESE HORSES!”


The sheriff’s office said that due to the size of the property, Animal Services Officers and veterinarians are still evaluating additional horses and animals.


JOHNSON was arrested and booked into the San Joaquin County Jail on charges of cruelty to animals, threatening a public official, criminal threats, and possession of a short-barrel shotgun.

BRYAN JAMES THOMPSON arrested for depriving his injured service dog from medical care

- Pennsylvania, USA -


On January 17, 2025, an officer with the Greensburg Police Department responded to Harry’s Bar to investigate a complaint regarding an injured dog.


Upon arrival, the officer learned from the complainant that a customer, identified as 56-year-old BRYAN JAMES THOMPSON (pictured), had his service dog with him who appeared to be injured.


The officer found the dog, a 3-year-old male Rottweiler named Leo, sitting next to the door.


According to the criminal complaint obtained by Voice For Us, the officer examined Leo and noticed a severe infection near his tail. When the officer asked THOMPSON about Leo’s infection, he said that Leo had his tail removed due to an injury.


The officer then invited THOMPSON to exit the bar and upon a further investigation, he reported: “it now appeared to me that feces was stuck in the dogs anus along with a green liquid oozing out” and added that Leo was also biting the area.


THOMPSON became “irritated” as the officer continued to ask him questions. THOMPSON kept saying over and over again that Leo was fine but the more he talked, the more it was apparent to the officer that he was not properly caring for Leo.


At one point THOMPSON told the officer that he had taken Leo to K. Vet Animal Care in Greensburg two days before, but did not remember the name of the vet.


Meanwhile, the officer requested assistance from officers of other units and when THOMPSON talked to those officers, he said that the vet told him Leo was fine “and just use antibiotic cream on the dogs anus.”


THOMPSON kept giving different statements and at some point, he told one of the officers that Leo was treated three weeks ago. One of the officers inspected Leo and believed that the poor souls was suffering from Rectal Prolapse (a condition where the rectum turns inside out and protrudes from the anus.)


At that point, THOMPSON was told to be at City Hall the next day with the vets notes but he failed to appear.


On January 19, 2025, officials then removed Leo from a residence on Tremont Avenue and THOMPSON was placed under arrest.


Leo was taken for evaluation, and it was determined that he had punctures all over his body, an abscess on his elbow, and a severe infection on his tail for an improper tail docking.

A veterinarian, whom THOMPSON claimed had treated Leo, told officers Leo had not been to the clinic.


THOMPSON was charged with one misdemeanor count of neglect of animals – vet care, one misdemeanor count of cruelty to animals, and one felony count of aggravated cruelty to animals – causing sbi or death.

He was remanded to the Westmoreland County Prison after failing to post $25,000 bail. Court records show that THOMPSON’s preliminary hearing is set to take place on January 30, 2025, at 10:00 a.m.


I have reached out to the Greensburg Police Department to inquire about Leo’s condition but part of the email I received from Chief Irvin said: “Additionally, I regret to inform you that we cannot provide booking photographs or details about the dog involved in this case, as this information is also part of the active investigation.”
