The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department arrested 20-year-old CONNOR DE'LEON HOWARD (pictured).


According to the affidavit obtained by Voice For Us, on March 13, 2025, security camera footage at 1114 Clement Avenue captured HOWARD savagely and repeatedly attacking his dog.


Officer Tomasino with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department became aware of the incident after the outrageous video circulated on social media so he began investigating the case. Authorities were provided video of the incident by someone who lived nearby.


The footage showed HOWARD pulling into a Plaza Midwood apartment complex, getting out of a gray Toyota Corolla, opening a back door, bending over inside and ferociously swatting at something with one of his shoes. Soon after, HOWARD pulled a dog out from the backseat, pinned him/her to the ground and knee struck the pup multiple times before throwing him/her back into the car.


While the defenseless dog was being attacked, he/she was “whimpering and yelping”, stated the affidavit.


At that point, a witness stepped in and began yelling at HOWARD to stop hitting the dog. To that, HOWARD responded: “I don't give fuck about none of that.” The witness went on to say: “You cannot be hitting your dog in the head.” HOWARD then told the witness: “In the head, the stomach, don't give fuck where its at or how do it.”


The video then ends there.


People started identifying HOWARD as the individual seen in the video.


The owner of an animal rescue had posted the video of the incident on her Instagram account trying to get information on HOWARD. When she was reading the comments, she came across a comment posted by “driftininndiesel” and according to the affidavit, it read:


“My life fixin to be judge by 30 second video. My dog live great life. Am saying what did was right no. but do deserve jail time and my kids losing their dad no. Im (sic) 20. My dog, BLUE EYE (Bull dog) lives great life. don’t any one of yall people form (sic) can of paint but yall wasn’t there to witness. How much more of that video wasn’t posted yall don’t know and probably never will. Ill face what Ill face and lifes (sic) goes on. But don’t limit my anger to dog nor woman. But hey all this is, is comment out thousands. So we’ll see.”


The lady then reached out to Animal Control and the agency was able to positively identify the individual as CONNOR DE'LEON HOWARD. The affidavit stated that through investigative work, an address of 6106 Montego Drive was associated with HOWARD through a previous arrest.


Officers went to that address to make contact with HOWARD but there was no answer at the door although they could hear a dog barking from inside. When officers looked through the window, they saw a brown/white Bulldog Mix with blue eyes in a cage.


HOWARD was taken into custody on March 18, 2025, and charged with one felony count of cruelty to animals. He was booked into the Mecklenburg County Jail and released after posting a $5,000 secure bond.

Court records show that HOWARD is expected back in court on April 4, 2025, at 1:30 p.m.


The furvictim is in the care of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care and Control (ACC) and has been checked by a veterinarian.


On a separate note, arrest records also indicate that HOWARD is being charged with a probation violation and that he also had two other arrests last year.

Court records indicate the previous arrests were for separate charges of assault on a female.

The Henderson County Sheriff’s Office arrested 47-year-old STACY ANN ROSE (pictured).


On March 5, 2025, Detective Moore and Deputy Leahy responded to a report of three Saint Bernard dogs running at large in Horse Shoe.


After catching the dogs, officers noted that they were in poor condition and contacted their guardian, ROSE. Officers then accompanied her to her residence for further investigation.


As reported by the sheriff’s office, ROSE is listed on the Henderson County registry for having more than ten dogs “which allows for inspections of her property.”


Upon arriving at the home, ROSE led officers to a shed where the three dogs had been kept in deplorable conditions, with feces covering the floor, said the sheriff's office.

Sadly, officers also discovered seven dead dogs in trash bags, “most showing signs of severe decomposition”, stated the release.


ROSE surrendered the three Saint Bernards before officers searched inside her home where they found more dogs being kept in similar conditions to the shed.


Deputies then obtained and executed a search warrant which led to the discovery and rescue of fifteen dogs, The sheriff’s office said ten dogs were in the home and five in the backyard.


ROSE was placed under arrest and charged with fifteen felony counts of animal cruelty, seven misdemeanor counts of failure to bury deceased canines, three misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty, and misdemeanor resisting public officer.


At her bond hearing a magistrate set bond at $126,500. ROSE has since been released and according to court records, her next court appearance is slated for April 15, 2025, at 8:45 a.m.


Henderson County Sheriff Lowell Griffin expressed gratitude for the department’s Animal Enforcement team and all those who assisted “as we continue to remain vigilant in ensuring the safety and well-being of all animals in Henderson County”, he said.


I reached out to the sheriff’s office PIO, Stephanie Barbosa, to inquire about the dogs, and I was told: “At this time, all the information about the case that we are able to release is available on our social media platforms. No further details will be provided in order to preserve the integrity of the investigation pending adjudication in court.”

- Florida, USA -


The Lee County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of 37-year-old ROBERT JAMES LUTHER III (pictured), of Bonita Springs.


On March 13, 2025, deputies were called to a home in the 25000 block of Carnoustie Court after the homeowner made a “disturbing discovery”, stated the release by the sheriff’s office.

The homeowner found a box on top of their mailbox containing two severed cat heads.


Due to the nature of the incident, the sheriff’s office Animal Cruelty Task Force was called to assist detectives on the scene and an investigation established LUTHER as a potential suspect.


According to the press release, state-of-the art technology, including license plate readers was used to examine the scene, and detectives were able to establish LUTHER “was in the area where the crime was committed around the same time.”


Later that day, LUTHER was located fishing in the area of Corporation Circle behind a closed business. The sheriff’s office said LUTHER “invoked his rights” and refused to speak with detectives while being questioned.

Detectives, however, found further evidence linking LUTHER to the crime, including “disturbing cell phone videos” in which LUTHER “[makes] mention” of and “depicts” the deceased cats.


LUTHER was booked into the Lee County Jail on two counts of aggravated animal cruelty and two counts of aggravated stalking.


At the time of writing, online records show that the murderer is still in custody and is scheduled to be in court on April 14, 2025, at 8:30 a.m..


Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno said: “Heinous violent acts, especially toward innocent animals, is beyond unacceptable and any offender will face severe consequences to the fullest extent of the law. The combined efforts of multiple units ensured this sick individual got locked behind bars before he could hurt anyone else. From the initial call taken by dispatchers, to the investigative work performed by 4th Precinct Patrol Deputies and Crime Section Detectives and the Animal Cruelty Task Force—this outcome was a success!”
