MARKECIO L. GRAHAM arrested for starving his dogs – One was found dead

Updated: Dec 18, 2023

- Tennessee, USA -


~ Update: December 18, 2023

 

I am overjoyed to let you know that Roselyn was adopted!

MAS tell  me “Roselyn got adopted by a great family at 12 Hours of Christmas.” The amazing family has another female Pitbull  so Roselyn will be playing and have fun with her new sister Lily.

 


~ Update: November 30, 2023

 

I heard back from MAS and no additional information could be disclosed regarding the deceased furbaby as the investigation is still active.

 

With regard to the furbaby who was found alive, Roselyn, I was told that she is approximately 1 year old and “her weight on intake was 32.8 lbs.”

 

I was further told:

“Today, Roselyn had:

Schirmer Tear Test: Right eye: 20; Left eye: 13 (She was very squirmy because she understandably didn’t like having her eye poked, but these results could indicate a mild/early dry eye condition)

Fecal float: Positive for whipworms (she will most likely get prescribed Panacur for that tomorrow)

Clinic staff experience with her was that she is friendly. She has bilateral scarring at the base of both ears, suggestive of healed fly strike. She is also underweight, and we plan to recheck her weight in 7 and 21 days.

She did well in playgroup! She was good with introductions but often preferred to be on her own.”

Authorities arrested 28-years-old MARKECIO L. GRAHAM (pictured) and charged him with felony aggravated cruelty to animals.


On the afternoon of Sunday, November 26, 2023, Memphis Animal Services received an animal cruelty call and responded to a property on Palmetto Avenue, Breedlove Street, to investigate.


In the backyard of the residence, a MAS officer found two Pitbulls. Sadly, one was deceased and decomposed. The other one had been feeding on the decomposed Pitbull.

According to the MAS officer, there were no signs of shelter, food, or water for the Voiceless Victims.


GRAHAM admitted the Pitbulls were his and said that he last fed them three weeks ago.


GRAHAM was placed under arrest and booked into the Shelby County Jail on a $15,000 bond.

Records show he is still in custody and he is expected to appear in court on November 29, 2023, at 9:00 a.m.


Authorities did not disclose the name of the deceased furbaby, so I took the liberty of naming him/her Flower for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.

PLEASE, help Humble Police find the female who tied a dog to a dumpster leaving him to die

- Texas, USA -


The Humble Police Department is reaching out to the public for information after a female heartlessly tied a helpless puppy to a dumpster leading to the death of the furbaby.


In a media release, police said that the female “was recorded on video walking from First St. in Humble onto Dennis Street to the City of Humble Animal Shelter located at 240 Dennis St.”


Police said the female tied the Voiceless Victim, a tan and white 6-8-month-old male Pitbull mix, to a dumpster “with a piece of orange 550 cord around his neck. The dog was struggling and thrashing while she did this.”


As stated in the release, after tying the puppy, the female walks away and never looks back. The puppy continues to struggle and sadly, within two minutes he became unconscious and tragically lost his precious life.


If that puppy had been able to talk, he would have asked for help, so it’s up to us now to speak up for this Voiceless Victim.


Police posted a still image of the female with the dog but as you can see, the image is not very clear. Police described the evil suspect as a black female “wearing [gray] sweatpants, a pink sweatshirt, a white hat and white slides for shoes.”


This despicable female is wanted for felony animal cruelty and she needs to be charged. As police wrote in a Facebook post, “Please, please, please contact the City of Humble Police Department if you have any information on this suspect.”


If you have information and don’t come forward, you are just as guilty.

Do the right thing and contact Sgt. Rich Peters at (281) - 446- 7127 quoting case number: 23-005744. Thank you!


Authorities did not disclose the furbaby’s name, so I took the liberty of naming him Jonquil for the tribute image. Should his given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.


This is the only thing that I can say to this filth. Next time that you think that you are entitled to demand respect for your pathetic and useless life, REMEMBER what you have done to another life!

I hope you meet the same end as the innocent puppy!!!!

KIERRA LATRICE STURGIS and LEMOND LYDELL WILLIAMS SR arrested for animal cruelty and neglect

- Maryland, USA -


The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of 31-years-old KIERRA LATRICE STURGIS and 47-years-old LEMOND LYDELL WILLIAMS SR (both pictured – via Facebook).


In a media release, the sheriff's office said that on October 2, 2023, Worcester County Animal Control responded to a property in the 500 block of Bonneville Avenue in Pocomoke after receiving an animal complaint.


On the front porch of the residence, officers saw a crate with two dogs inside. Sadly, one of them was deceased.


The investigation and evidence at the scene indicated that there were more neglected dogs but STURGIS and WILLIAMS, the residents, refused to meet with animal control officers.


The sheriff’s office said that with the assistance of the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation, a search and seize warrant was authored and approved.


Once inside the property, officers found two more dogs. According to the release, the furvictims were “extremely emaciated and in poor condition.” There was no food or water for the poor souls.


Worcester County Animal Control removed the Voiceless Victims who are now being treated by a veterinarian.


STURGIS and WILLIAMS were charged with thirty-six (36) counts of animal cruelty and animal neglect, including four (4) felony charges of aggravated animal cruelty.


Online records show that STURGIS and WILLIAMS are being held at the Worcester County Detention Center without bond and are awaiting trial.

According to court records, STURGIS and WILLIAMS are expected to appear at Worcester District Court on December 29, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. before Judge Gerald V. Purnell.


Authorities did not disclose the name of the deceased furbaby, so I took the liberty of naming him/her Aster for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.
