TRISTAN BLAINE WOLCOTT caught on video striking and throwing down the stairs a malnourished dog

- West Virginia, USA -

 

The Beckley Police Department received an animal neglect complaint involving a residence on Wickman Avenue. The complainant had a video showing their neighbor throwing a dog down a set of stairs. The complaint advised that the dog was malnourished and appeared to have broken legs.

 

On August 16, 2024, an officer responded to the given address to investigate and upon arrival the officer made contact with a woman who said the dog was hers.

 

The officer reported that the dog was extremely malnourished and that his/her back legs were swollen and had open cuts. The officer further reported that the dog’s back legs appeared to not be working.

 

The officer also made contact with 27-year-old TRISTAN BLAINE WOLCOTT (pictured) and questioned him about the dog. WOLCOTT did not immediately give the officer his real name and identified himself as “Tristan Primeaux”.

 

According to the officer, during the interview WOLCOTT became “nervous”, was “apprehensive” and would not answer clearly.

 

One of the videos that the officer obtained from the complainant and that was dated August 16, 2024, showed WOLCOTT grabbing the furvictim, striking him/her, and throwing him/her down the stairs.

 

In another video, which was stamped August 8, 2024, the dog can be seen displaying obvious injury to his/her legs.

 

WOLCOTT was arrested and booked into the Southern Regional Jail on felony animal cruelty and misdemeanor obstruction of an officer.

 

At the time of writing, the Beckley Police Department has not responded to my several emails requesting information about the dog.

TIFFANY VANSTONE arrested – Several cats and five children removed from a Johnston home

- Rhode Island, USA -

 

The Johnston Police Department received reports of children living in possible deplorable conditions at a home on 41 Harris Avenue.

 

On the late night of Wednesday, August 14, 2024, officers responded to the home and conducted a well-being check. Police found several cats and five children. Throughout the home officers observed trash, feces, and moldy food.

 

Animal Control was called in to remove the cats who were found without food or water.

 

Among the children living at the home was a seven-week-old infant. The Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) responded to the scene and took the juveniles to the Hasbro Children’s Hospital to be evaluated.

 

On August 15, 2024, police arrested the children’s mother, 40-year-old TIFFANY VANSTONE (pictured), on a warrant for unnecessary cruelty to animals and five felony counts of cruelty to or neglect of a child. She was arraigned and issued a $10,000 personal recognizance bail. The court also ordered her not to have unsupervised contact with her children.

 

Town Building Officials have since deemed the house uninhabitable.

 

I have emailed Johnston Police Department and Animal Control to inquire about the cats but at the time of writing, I have not heard back from them.

REWARD offered for information on the monster(s) who abandoned 3 kittens in a trash compactor

- Virginia, USA -

 

The Animal Legal Defense Fund, an American legal advocacy organization for animals, is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the monster(s) who abandoned three helpless kittens.

 

In a press release the organization said that the furvictims were left to die in a trash compactor near the Darlington Heights convenience site in Prince Edward County. On the morning of May 23, 2024, a local attendant heard the only surviving kitten meowing and found her “clinging to life” in an orange plastic bag where her siblings were sadly discovered lifeless.

 

In a Facebook post, Prince Edward County Animal Care and Control said: “If it weren’t for the attendant at the site who heard meowing coming from the compactor, then all would have perished.”

 

The kitten, named Zoey, was bathed and brought to a local veterinarian for examination. According to the Animal Legal Defense Fund, she “has been adopted into a loving home, and is doing very well.”

 

Animal Legal Defense Fund Managing Attorney David B. Rosengard said: “Abandoning kittens in a trash compactor not only leaves them to die a painful death, but is also a criminal violation of Virgina’s cruelty code. We are hopeful that members of the community are able to come forward with information that will lead to justice for these animals and prevent similar actions in the future.”

 

Prince Edward County Animal Control and the Prince Edward County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the incident and are reaching out to the public to come forward with information that can identify the heartless and soulless individual(s) responsible for this heinous crime.

 

Prince Edward County’s Chief Animal Control Officer Adam Mumma said: “We are beyond grateful for the support of the Animal League Defense Fund for posting a reward for this heinous crime that occurred in our community. The County is committed to bringing this individual to justice. We urge anyone with information to please contact Prince Edward County Animal Control at 434-223-7310.”

 

If you know who did it, do the right thing and speak up or you are just as guilty!

 

The names of the deceased furvictims were not disclosed, so I took the liberty of naming them Cherry and Kiwi for the tribute image. Should their given names be made public, I will rectify them accordingly.
