JAYMARION JAKLEEM LAWTON, WANYA MARQUESE SANDS, and ANDREW JERMAINE JACKSON III doused cat in acid

- Florida, USA -


The Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office said in a news release that on April 5, 2023, Detective Cauley and Detective Wenrick served 19-years-old JAYMARION JAKLEEM LAWTON (pictured), with a search warrant for his cell phone.

Upon inspection of the device, in the saved videos investigators found “an eight-minute video recording of an individual pouring Liquid Fire (Sulfuric Acid used to unclog drains) onto a household cat closed within an animal trap.”


This gut-wrenching discovery led detectives to investigate the incident.

From an investigation it emerged that the incident happened on February 14, 2023, in the 300 block of Northeast 17th Avenue in Okeechobee County.

Detectives learned that LAWTON recorded the video on his phone while 21-years-old ANDREW JERMAINE JACKSON III (also pictured), “was identified as the second person recording the incident.” According to the release, 22-years-old WANYA MARQUESE SANDS (also pictured), “was identified as the subject who was seen on the video pouring the Liquid Fire onto the cat's body and head numerous times throughout the 8-minute video.”


The Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office chose to not publish the distressing video in its entirety.

The video posted in the comments section has the duration of approximately a minute and it is sufficiently sickening! The evil individuals can be heard laughing while they are perpetrating senseless abuse on a creature unable to fight back. Not only that, after pouring the acid, two of them can be seen teasing the furbaby with a stick. The cat, unable to escape, is visibly nervous and terrified.


On April 11, 2023, investigators located SANDS and questioned him. While he was being interviewed, SANDS “began to flee on foot from the detectives.” Eventually, SANDS “was tackled and taken into custody.”

SANDS is facing aggravated animal cruelty and resisting arrest charges.


LAWTON, who was in custody from the search warrant and those charges, was arrested for accessory after the fact to a level five third-degree felony and aggravated animal cruelty.


The sheriff’s office said that after realizing the detectives had probable cause for his arrest, JACKSON turned himself into the Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office and was arrested for accessory after the fact to a level five third-degree felony and aggravated animal cruelty.


As for the only victim of this heinous crime, the sheriff’s office said that at this time his/her whereabouts are unknown. According to the sheriff’s office, it was reported that the cat “was let out of the cage and ran away.”


Okeechobee County Animal Control was also contacted “and there were no reports of cats being turned in for refuge.”

As stated in the release, Animal Control “reports they did not receive any cats from February to the present date showing any signs of chemical burns which would have been the result of the Liquid Fire being poured onto the cat.”


Online records show that only LAWTON is in custody!


Just think, the incident happened on February 14, a day on which most people choose to display love and care. Instead, these three useless individuals chose to display barbaric and evil behavior!


Any comment aimed at the defense or justification of these three evil individuals’ actions will be deleted and the author banned!

Under NO circumstances I will allow despicable acts inflicted upon innocent, defenseless, and helpless souls to be defended!

Animals CANNOT defend themselves so expect me to do it for them!

NICKEY COTHRAN arrested – Severe neglect led to one dead dog and the other one is deaf and blind

- Florida, USA -


On March 5, 2023, Deputy Sheriff Megan Noel, with the Collier County Sheriff's Office, was advised by Dr. Morton of the Naples Humane Society, that two male Cocker Spaniels had been brought in by 59-years-old NICKEY COTHRAN (pictured).


According to the incident report, COTHRAN stated he was unable to care for the dogs and fled the humane Society.


Dr. Morton advised the dogs, named Henry and Percy, appeared to be neglected.

Ms. Noel then requested a patrol unit respond to the Humane Society to conduct and document the preliminary investigation.


On March 7, 2023, Ms. Noel went to the Humane Society where Dr. Morton provided her with a summary of the incident. Ms. Noel learned that when COTHRAN dropped Henry and Percy at the Humane Society, he fled without signing surrender paperwork.


Since Percy was in need of immediate medical intervention, due to several conditions, Ms. Noel went to COTHRAN’s home, on 3625 Boca Ciega Drive in Naples and explained to him that if he wanted to surrender Henry and Percy, he needed to sign surrender paperwork.

According to the report, COTHRAN “excitedly uttered, ‘I know they were in bad shape....I feel bad...Their care just got away from me’.”


On March 10, 2023, Ms. Noel received a medical report by Dr. Morton regarding Henry and Percy stating:


“Henry passed away before any medical intervention could occur by HSN medical team. Examination of his body revealed severe matting of his coat which covered the majority of his body. By my estimation, the flea infestation numbered in the thousands. It is likely that he had not been groomed, or even brushed, in a year or longer. Henry also had evidence of chronic otitis extrema (ear infection). His remaining incisors were affected by marked dental disease. Internally, the most significant finding was a perforation (hole) through his stomach wall, resulting in the spilling of gastric contents into the abdomen. When not treated with immediate surgery, this condition will lead to severe pain and rapid death.


Percy was found to be suffering from multiple unmanaged health conditions. His coat was severely matted all over and he also had a severe flea infestation. The degree and chronicity of his flea infestation and blood loss was also noted in his bloodwork, where he was shown to have a significant iron deficiency anemia. The matting was most notable on his ears, where the margins of his ear flaps were not able to be accurately identified. Given the status of his coat, it is likely that he also has not been groomed, or even brushed, for a year or longer. There was a chronic, bacterial otitis extrema which has resulted in inflammatory masses in the canals. Percy will likely require surgery to remove his ear canals due to the duration and severity of the infection. Both eyes are affected by glaucoma (abnormal high pressure within eyes) and he is completely blind from the condition. Glaucoma is painful in its acute and chronic stages. His right eye is deficient in tear production, keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye). Dry-eye also results in discomfort when not appropriately managed. He will require bilateral enucleation (surgical removal of both eyes) in order to cure these ocular conditions and take away his pain.

On the morning under two pounds of hair was removed. This represented approximately 6% of his body weight and took about two hours to complete.


Both Henry and Percy suffered severe, daily, chronic pain and discomfort for what is suspected to be a period of a year or possibly longer.

All of the chronic conditions found would have been preventable or manageable with routine veterinary and grooming care.”


Given all the evidence collected during the investigation, Ms. Noel found probable cause for the arrest of COTHRAN on two counts of aggravated animal cruelty.

On April 4, 2023, COTHRAN was booked into the Naples Jail Center where he is being held on a $100,000 bond. If he is to be released, he is not able to “own” or come near any animals at all.

COTHRAN will be back in court on May 1, 2023.

Teenager arrested after being caught on video brutally abusing his dog unable to fight back

- Florida, USA -


A resident of Covington Drive in Deltona, captured on their security camera the incomprehensible abuse inflicted on a defenseless dog by a teenager.


Thankfully, the resident passed the footage onto Deltona Animal Control and the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office was able to arrest the 17-year-old male who can be seen in the video savagely attacking the dog unable to fight back.


According to a press release by the sheriff’s office, the video, timestamped the night of Tuesday, March 14, 2023, showed the male going into a neighbor’s yard to retrieve his dog after he/she ran away. “He picked up the dog by the neck and carried it back toward his house, where he lifted it in the air and slammed it to the ground. He straddled the dog, began punching it in the face and head again and again, then grabbed its head and slammed it into the ground multiple times. The video footage was accompanied by audio, which recorded the dog yelping during the abuse,” stated the release.


Deltona Animal Control took custody of the dog and took him/her to a local animal hospital for examination.


Deputies arrested the unnamed teenager and charged with aggravated animal cruelty. He was transported to the Family Resource Center for processing his charge. Following processing, he was released to his grandmother’s custody by the Department of Juvenile Justice.


The sheriff’s office said that “The defendant’s grandmother confirmed she witnessed the incident and informed deputies she told her grandson to stop hurting the dog. She said she disciplined her grandson after the incident.”


Note below in the gallery how the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office addressed the post: “*Warning to animal lovers: This post describes a felony animal abuse case*”, as if crime has a selective audience and animal cruelty should only interest those who love animals!
