The Lauderdale County Sheriff's Office arrested 20-years-old NATHANIEL SHANE BREWSTER (pictured), of Florence.

 

On Monday, April 8, 2024, the sheriff’s office became aware of a video circulating on social media showing animal cruelty toward a dog.

 

Investigators launched an investigation which led to the execution of a search warrant for a residence in Zip City.

 

BREWSTER was placed under arrest and charged with animal cruelty, second-degree possession of marijuana, and possession of marijuana.

 

According to court documents, the incident took place sometime in November or December of 2023.

 

The Voiceless Victim was rescued and turned over to the Florence/Lauderdale Animal Shelter.

I emailed Animal Services and I was told that the furvictim is a male Husky named Roscoe. Roscoe is about 10 months old and initially, he was “scared to be approached but has warmed up quickly”. I also learned that Roscoe was BREWSTER’s.

I was kindly provided with a picture of the furbaby (below).

 

At time of writing, records show that BREWESTER was released from custody after posting a $1,500 bond.

Following tips from concerned citizens about animal cruelty at a property on 7474 Kilbourne Road in Kingston Township, forty dogs were rescued and the owner of the property, ROBERT PHILLIPS JR., could soon be facing charges.

 

The Delaware County Sheriff's Office explained in a media release that “Per Ohio law, the County Dog Warden and the Humane Society have primary authority regarding animals.”

 

On Sunday, April 7, 2024, Delaware County Dog Warden Mitchell Garrett obtained a warrant from Delaware Municipal Court Judge Kyle Rohrer to enter the property. The owner of the property, PHILLIPS, was not present during the raid, so no charges have been issued at this point, but are anticipated.

 

According to the multiple comments I have read on the Facebook page of the sheriff's office and the county dog shelter, authorities have known for four years about the conditions of the dogs and nothing was done before the Sunday’s raid.

 

Garrett said: “Mr. Phillips has been known to us for several years” but previous visits had found only six dogs, all in good health. Garrett also said that although complaints kept coming in, in recent years, no one would complete a witness statement that would enable the Dog Shelter staff to act.

According to Garrett, a “statement was received Friday night, alleging many more dogs on the property than were previously known and that they had been observed in abusive conditions.”

 

With the statement and the warrant, officials were able to enter the property, rescue the dogs, and also initiate a site investigation of the conditions.

 

Garrett said the raid took about three hours and was conducted with the help of personnel from the Humane Society of Delaware County, the Marion County Dog Warden’s Office, the Morrow County Humane Agent, and the nonprofit group Rico Pet Recovery.

 

The rescued dogs, most believed to be Pitbulls or Pitbull mixes, are being cared for at the Delaware County Dog Shelter and the Humane Society of Delaware County facility.

 

The Columbus Dispatch reports that “The Ohio Department of Agriculture maintains a database of high-volume dog breeders”. PHILLIPS, and the address of the home from which the dogs were rescued, are “listed in the state's database.”

~ Update: April 6, 2024

 

I have heard back from the Turlock Police Department and I was told that “ There were no deceased animals found at the residence at the time of the search warrant. There was one emaciated puppy that has unfortunately passed away since being taken to Animal Services. None of the rescued dogs have been euthanized.”

 

I took the liberty of naming the deceased puppy Blossom for the tribute image.

 

~ Original story:


The Turlock Police Department needs the public’s assistance to locate 46-years-old JORGE AYALA (pictured).

 

Police said in a media release that AYALA is the suspect of an investigation that led to the rescue of seventy-three (73) INNOCENT dogs, all Pitbull mixes.

 

The investigation began in early March 2024, after Turlock Animal Services became suspicious of three homes in the 400 block of S. First Street in Turlock when officers saw ten dogs tethered outside. (In the state of California, it is illegal to tie your dog to any stationary object for more than a 3-hour period within 24 hours.)

 

After further investigation and surveillance of the homes, on March 28, 2024, a search warrant was served at the three residences “for an alleged animal cruelty investigation and possible dogfighting”, stated the release.

 

Along with patrol and Animal Services, Turlock Police Department Detectives and the Special Investigations Unit (S.I.U.) found and rescued a total of seventy-three (73) dogs from the three properties. Police said the living conditions the Voiceless Victims were living in were “deplorable and inhumane.” Some of the dogs were pregnant and close to giving birth.

 

The innocent souls were stuffed in small crates that could only house one small dog and did not have any access to water or food. Each crate was stacked on top of each other.

 

All of the furvictims were seized as evidence and taken to the shelter where they have been evaluated by a veterinarian and treated for any injuries or diseases.

 

Police said that due to the high number of dogs at the shelter and limited space, Turlock Police Animal Services will not be accepting owner surrenders until further notice. Additionally, Animal Services are asking for the community’s assistance in adopting ten dogs who are not part of the investigation. All fees will be waived. 

 

As for AYALA, police said his whereabouts are currently unknown. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Ulrich at (209) - 668 - 6570 or the Turlock Police Department’s Tip Line at (209) - 668 - 5550 extension 6780.  Alternatively, you can email your tip. Thank you!
