ANDRE TERRY TERWILLEGER arrested – Five dead and four extremely malnourished live dogs found at a Clark County home

- Washington, USA -


The Battle Ground Police Department announced that following a year-long investigation, 35-year-old ANDRE TERRY TERWILLEGER (pictured) has been apprehended.


On November 15, 2024, officers responded to a home in the 2100 block of Southwest Fifth Street, where they smelled a strong stench coming from the garage area.

Officers discovered nine abandoned dogs but sadly, five of them were deceased. The four dogs who were found alive were severely malnourished and in need of urgent medical attention so they were taken for emergency veterinary care.


During the course of the investigation, detectives reached out for assistance to an expert veterinarian from the Human Society of Southwest Washington and the Animal Legal Defense Fund.


An extensive probe enabled investigators to gather sufficient evidence to establish that animal cruelty offenses had been committed. Investigators also identified TERWILLEGER as the former tenant of the home where all the nine dogs were found, as well as the individual responsible for the care of those furvictims.


Investigators then forwarded the case to the Clark County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office requesting seven counts of animal cruelty in the first degree – death, and two counts of animal cruelty in the second degree – owner fail to provide.


On March 6, 2025, the Clark County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office issued a warrant for TERWILLEGER’s arrest on the aforementioned charges.

However, detectives were unable to locate TERWILLEGER so the Battle Ground Police Department took to social media their appeal to the public for assistance.


On March 8, 2025, the police advised that thanks to the public’s help and “the swift action of our outstanding partners at the Clark County Sheriff's Office, Washington State, the suspect was located and taken into custody without incident—just hours after our initial post.”


Battle Ground Police Chief Dennis Flynn said: “We are truly humbled by the overwhelming support we received on this heartbreaking case. The community’s vigilance and dedication to making our city a safe and compassionate place does not go unnoticed. Together, we can continue to work towards making Battle Ground a safer, stronger community to live, work, and thrive.”

TIMOTHY D. BROWN aka TIMMIE BROWN arrested for beating a puppy to death

Updated: Mar 8

- New York, USA -


48-year-old TIMOTHY D. BROWN aka TIMMIE BROWN (pictured), is accused of a crime involving the death of an innocent male Pug puppy named Goji.


On February 26, 2025, the Buffalo City Police Department received a call about a deceased puppy found at a home on Shields Avenue. The caller also shared the home with BROWN.


According to the press release by the Erie County District Attorney’s Office, authorities learned that BROWN “intentionally” struck Goji multiple times resulting in his death.


The savage was arrested and charged with one felony count of aggravated cruelty to animals and one count of harassment in the second degree (violation).


On February 27, 2025, BROWN was arraigned before Buffalo City Court Judge Carrie Phillips and then released on his own recognizance as the charges are non-qualifying offenses for bail.

A temporary protection order has been issued for the human victim, along with a “no animal” order that prohibits BROWN from “owning” or caring for any animals while the case is ongoing.


BROWN is due back in court on the morning of Thursday, March 20, 2025, at 9:30.

If convicted of the most serious charge, he could face up to ONLY two years in prison and then he will be free to resume his pathetic and useless existence.


Goji, on the other hand, won’t have a second life!


I asked the Erie County District Attorney’s Office how old Goji was and I was told: “We do not have an exact age for the deceased dog – approximately 5 months to 12 months old, which is why we referred to him as a puppy.” To my question regarding the details of the incident, the answer was: “Also, we cannot disclose any details about the cause of death due to the ongoing investigation as a necropsy has not been completed at this time.”


The Erie County District Attorney's Office pointed out that "As are all persons accused of a crime, the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law."

Deputy Marshal JOHN COBY II, who shot and killed his K9 partner Hawk, is now suing City of Tombstone and its Marshal's Office

- Arizona, USA -


On the early morning of November 19, 2024, the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office was alerted to a shooting involving Tombstone Deputy Marshal JOHN COBY II (pictured) at the Tombstone Marshal’s Office and multiple units responded to the scene.


The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release that upon arrival, officers found COBY in the upstairs bathroom with his 2 ½ -year-old Belgian Malinois K9 partner Hawk deceased outside the door.


According to the press release, from an initial investigation it emerged that COBY and K9 Officer Hawk were working on the nightshift and shortly after 5:00 a.m., K9 Officer Hawk “attacked his handler.”


COBY said that K9 Officer Hawk “latched onto his leg and would not let go, causing serious ankle/leg injury”, stated the release. COBY further said that he was able to get into the bathroom and partially close the door in an attempt to release K9 Officer Hawk’s grip on his leg. According to COBY, when that failed, he shot K9 Officer Hawk killing him.


K9 Officer Hawk was transferred to a facility for a necropsy.


COBY was airlifted to a Tucson hospital for treatment of his leg injuries before being released later in the evening.


At the time of the incident, the sheriff’s office said that COBY remained off-duty on medical leave during the investigation.


Let’s forward to February 2025.


On February 3, 2025, Tombstone Marshal Jim Adams issued a press release announcing that the detectives from the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office concluded the following:


• “There is nothing in this investigation that indicates to me John was abusive toward Hawk or premeditated his death.”

• “There is nothing that indicates John intentionally provoked Hawk to attack him.”

• “John Coby II was justified in using deadly physical force against Hawk as it was immediately necessary to protect himself against Hawk’s attack.”


The press release goes on to state: “The County Attorney’s Office concurred with the findings, citing that ‘The shooting of K9 Officer Hawk by Deputy Marshal Coby appears to be entirely justified’ and that ‘Felony prosecution is declined’.”


According to the press release by Marshal Adams, the investigation revealed that K9 Officer Hawk “had previously been assigned to the US Border Patrol as a drug detection K9 and had committed several prior unprovoked attacks on handlers with at least one requiring hospitalization and surgery (June 4, 2024). Hawk was then released to a third-party vendor, who was reportedly told about the dog’s history. That vendor then transferred Hawk to KnightWatch K9 and reportedly failed to disclose those facts, hence, our office was equally not aware of them when the dog came to us.”


The press release further stated that the veterinarian who tested K9 Officer Hawk following the attack on the BP handler concluded “an assumed acquired behavior disorder diagnosis” might be warranted, if the pain medications K9 Officer Hawk was given for a possible injury they thought he might have at the time, failed to mitigate the issue.


While Marshal Adams expressed gratitude “for the professional diligence of the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office in conducting a comprehensive and objective investigation,” as reported by KVOA, COBY recently filed a $1.5 million Notice of Claim against the City of Tombstone and related parties, “alleging negligence and misconduct that resulted” in K9 Officer Hawk’s attack on him.


In summary, the claim stresses the alleged failure of the City and associated parties to provide a safe working environment and accuses KnightWatch K9, operated by Constance Baker, for failing to vet K9 Officer Hawk before he joined the Marshal’s Office.


Marshal Jim Adams resigned from his position days before the Claim.


I reached out to the Marshal’s Office to request a photo of K9 Officer Hawk but they declined to provide it to me and said: “Unfortunately, we are under civil litigation about the incident and as such, we do not comment, or voluntarily distribute any information regarding the matter until the situation has been resolved.”


At the end of all this, once again, an innocent animal paid with his precious life at the expense of human mistakes and negligence!
