~ Update: October 23, 2024

 

I heard back from the Lexington Police Department and I learned that the two furvictims who were found deceased at the home were one female puppy and a male puppy.

 

The furvictim who died at the shelter was a female puppy.

 

The two puppies who survived are a female and a male and the name of the adult female dog is Chino.

 

I had requested pictures and additional information but at this time no more details are available.

 

 

~ Original story:


On the afternoon of October 10, 2024, officers with the Lexington Police Department were dispatched to a home on 308 Williamson Street after receiving a report of a dead dog in the backyard.

 

Upon arrival, officers found the dead dog inside of a small, enclosed fence. But the poor soul was not the only one. In fact, there were a total of five dogs inside of the enclosed fence, including another dead dog. All of the furvictims were removed and taken to the Davidson County Animal Shelter.  A third dog who was taken from the home later died while at the animal shelter.

 

On the morning of October 18, 2024, police arrested 48-year-old JAMAL ALI MOORE (pictured) and charged him with five counts of animal abandonment, three felony counts of killing an animal by starvation, and two misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty.

 

The following day, police returned to the home at approximately 3:00 a.m. and executed a search warrant. Officials discovered an additional dog inside the home who was removed under the search warrant and was taken to the Davidson County Animal Shelter.

 

At the time of writing, records show that MOORE was released from the Davidson County Jail and is slated to appear in Lexington District Court on November 14, 2024.

 

Police said the investigation is ongoing.

The Wake County Sheriff’s Office arrested 31-year-old FLOYD TARAIL MEEKS III (pictured).

 

According to the press release obtained by Voice For Us, on October 9, 2024, deputies were called to assist Wake County Animal Control at a residence in the 4000 block of Edgemont Road, near Wendell in reference to an animal cruelty case.

 

Upon arrival, deputies found a malnourished cat, three malnourished dogs, and sadly a dead dog.

 

Animal Control removed all of the Voiceless Victims from the residence and deputies arrested  MEEKS.

MEEKS was booked into the Wake County Jail on one felony count of killing an animal by starvation and one misdemeanor count of cruelty to animals.

 

The sheriff’s office said the investigation is ongoing and there are no additional details at this time.

 

I have emailed Animal Control to inquire about all the furvictims. If I get a response, I will post an update.

 

I took the liberty to name the deceased dog Wiggles for the tribute image.

The execution of a search warrant at a home on 413 Hobson Drive in Mocksville, led to the discovery of eleven (11) starved dogs and the arrest of 30-year-old NATHAN LEE TANNER (pictured).

 

On September 13, 2024, deputies with the Davie County Sheriff’s Office Animal Services executed the search warrant and found eleven “emaciated Chihuahua type dogs”, according to a news release by the sheriff’s office.

One of the dogs had to be transported to a local veterinarian for immediate treatment, while the other ten were taken to Davie County Animal Shelter.

 

The sheriff’s office tells me that no animals were found deceased and none of the rescued dogs were euthanized. The furvictim who was rushed to the vet was considered “in guarded condition.”

 

In a Facebook post, Davie County Animal Shelter wrote:

We recently took in 11 small breed dogs from a cruelty case. They are all very sick and will be in care for a while before they will be available for adoption.  Even having been through what they have, they are all loving, friendly dogs. We would greatly appreciate donations of canned dog food. They all need to gain weight and canned food is the easiest for them to accept. Any brand, as long as it is canned, they are chowing down on everything.

If you are able, donations can be dropped off at the shelter, 291 Eaton Rd., Mocksville, NC 27028 or shipped here if that is more convenient. Thank you for your support!

 

Warrants have been issued on TANNER for one felony count for cruelty to animals and ten misdemeanor counts of cruelty to animals. 

According to the sheriff’s office, TANNER received no bond on the release order due to other charges in other counties. He is scheduled to appear at Davie District Court on September 26, 2024.
