DAVID THOMPSON, accused of stabbing two dogs in Colorado in 2022, killing one, arrested in Arkansas

- Colorado, USA -


On the night of August 29, 2022, a male stabbed two defenseless dogs, named Diesel and Jax, from outside the fenced yard of their home off of 6th Street near the McDonalds in Wellington.


Sadly, Jax lost his precious life during the attack while Diesel was seriously injured.

Jax was the emotional support dog for Yadhira Morales.


The Lamier County Sheriff’s Office was alerted to the incident and launched an investigation.

Ms. Morales offered a reward for information and the sheriff’s office reached out to the public in hopes of identifying the suspect.

Tips from the community led investigators to identify the suspect as 47-year-old DAVID THOMPSON (pictured).


More than two years later, the sheriff’s office has now announced that “After an extensive investigation, which included analyzing forensic and digital evidence and traveling to Arkansas to interview the suspect, LCSO obtained a warrant for Thompson.”


In November, THOMPSON was arrested in Arkansas and extradited to Larimer County on two felony counts of aggravated animal cruelty. He was issued a $15,000 cash/surety bond by the Larimer County Court which he was able to post on November 21, 2024.


According to the sheriff’s office, THOMPSON had no prior connection to Ms. Morales, her yard or her dogs.


Captain Bobby Moll, who leads the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office Investigations Division, said: “This was a disturbing case that robbed a family of their beloved pet. Our team put considerable effort into identifying the person responsible and building a strong, evidence-based case. While it can’t reverse the loss, I hope this arrest brings some measure of comfort.”


THOMPSON is due back in court on January 17, 2024.

BOBBY LEE WATSON arrested after six dogs were found chained up, injured, and malnourished

- North Carolina, USA -


The Gaston County Police Department made an arrest in reference to an animal cruelty case that occurred last month.


On October 3, 2024, Gaston County Police Animal Care and Enforcement responded to a home on 2106 Withers Street in Gastonia where officials found six dogs chained up. Police said in a press release that all the furvictims appeared to be “severely malnourished with multiple injuries.”


All the dogs were removed and according to police, they are “with a rescue organization which is providing comprehensive care for them, focusing on socialization and meeting their general needs to support their well-being and development.”


As the investigation progressed, on November 26, 2024, police arrested 49-year-old BOBBY LEE WATSON (pictured).

WATSON was charged with six counts of animal cruelty and booked into the Gaston County Jail. He was released after posting a $100,000 bond.


Police did not release any additional information about the dogs, so I emailed the Department as well as Gaston County Police Animal Care and Enforcement. If I get a response, I will post an update.

LUKE DANIEL ADAMS arrested for shooting his dog with a crossbow

- Florida, USA -


⚠️WARNING⚠️The article contains pictures some of you may find distressing⚠️


On the night of November 29, 2024, deputies with the Citrus County Sheriff's Office responded to a residence on West Oak Street in Crystal River after receiving reports about a violent individual identified as 25-year-old LUKE DANIEL ADAMS (pictured).


According to the press release by the sheriff’s office, deputies learned that ADAMS “had shot his dog in the back of the neck with a crossbow in a wooded area behind his home. After shooting the dog, he ripped out the arrow but left the tip embedded in the wound. He then placed his injured dog in the front seat of his truck and went inside his house.”


A resident saw the injured furvictim in the truck and thankfully alerted the authorities.


The Citrus County Sheriff's Office tells me that the furvictim was a female mixed breed “Florida Brown Dog” of 6-7 years old named Nova. Nova had been with ADAMS for six years.


Citrus County Animal Control rushed Nova to the Countryside Animal Clinic in Beverly Hills for immediate treatment.

The sheriff’s office said that veterinarians “worked tirelessly for hours to provide care and comfort” but the extent of Nova’s injury was “too great” and despite “the valiant efforts of emergency veterinarians” Nova could not be saved.


The sheriff’s office also kindly provided me with Nova’s pictures and explained: “The photo with the hemostats is used to show the depth in which the arrowhead was buried in the dogs neck.”


ADAMS was charged with one felony count of animal cruelty and at the time of writing, online arrest records show that he is being held into the Citrus County Jail.


“This heartbreaking loss underscores the urgent need to report and prevent animal abuse to protect those who cannot protect themselves”, said the sheriff’s office.
