RICHARD D. GOINGS accused of letting his dog die in a hot car

Updated: Oct 20, 2024

- Ohio, USA -

 

The Sandusky Police Department arrested 50-year-old RICHARD D. GOINGS (pictured).

 

According to the criminal complaint obtained by Voice For Us, on the early morning of Sunday, May 19, 2024, Officer Gautschi responded to a home in the 2200 block of Forest Drive to investigate an animal complaint.

 

Upon arrival, the officer found GOINGS standing beside his vehicle, crying. Laying on the ground, near the vehicle, was a lifeless female Pitbull.

 

According to the police report, “It appeared the dog may have passed away due to heat exhaustion.”

 

Officer Gautschi learned that GOINGS had gone home to take a shower and that he remained inside for half an hour. GOINGS claimed that he left his vehicle running and a window open.

GOINGS told the officer that when he came back out, the vehicle was no longer running and the window was rolled up. He speculated that the dog stepped on the window control and closed the window.

As noted in the report, the temperature inside of the vehicle may have reached 105 degrees.

 

Officer Gautschi reported that it appeared the dog spends “a lot of time in the vehicle and is believed to be living with Richard in the vehicle.”

 

On Monday, May 20, 2024, the case was submitted to the Erie County Prosecuting Attorney's Office and on the same day GOINGS was arrested on one felony count of cruelty to animals and booked into the Erie County Jail. Records show GOINGS was released after posting a $5,000 bond.

According to the complaint, GOINGS is due back at Erie County Municipal Court on May 29, 2024, at 10:a.m.

 

I took the liberty of naming the Voiceless Victim Doris, after Doris Day, my favorite actress who was also an amazing animal rights activist.

Should the furvictim’s given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.

- Florida, USA -

 

The Alachua County Sheriff’s Office arrested 24-year-old QUADRE ISAIAH ROBERTS (pictured).

 

According to the arrest report obtained by Voice For Us, early on the morning of Friday, May 17, 2024, a deputy responded to a residence in the 12400 block of SW 171st Place in Archer after receiving a call from ROBERTS’ adoptive mother.

 

The woman said that the night before, ROBERTS walked into the house holding a deceased cat and told her he would do the same to her. He then also told her that he had killed two of her cats, stabbing them both in the eye and leaving the knives in the wounds. According to the report, one of the cats had also his/her paws cut off.

 

The woman told the responding deputy that ROBERTS had been acting erratically for the past two days because she refused to give him a ride to somewhere he wanted to go; additionally, she explained that ROBERTS suffers from Bi-polar schizophrenia and refuses to take his prescribed medication.

 

ROBERTS was placed under arrest. The arresting deputy reported that as soon as they got into the vehicle, ROBERTS asked whether he was being arrested for killing the cats. The deputy responded that he was, so ROBERTS started screaming and said that he had killed nineteen (19) more cats. ROBERTS went on to say that he had eaten the tongues and eyeballs of two cats. 

 

According to the report, ROBERTS further said he would kill himself in jail and that he wishes his mom “was dead and would burn in hell.” ROBERTS then stated he would kill her when he got out of jail.

 

ROBERTS was charged with two felony counts of aggravated cruelty to animals.

 

Judge James Colaw set at $200,000 bail and at the time of writing, records show the murderer is still in custody.

DOMINGO RODRIGUEZ arrested after decapitating his newly adopted dog

Updated: Oct 20, 2024

- Florida, USA -

 

The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of 66-year-old DOMINGO RODRIGUEZ (pictured).

 

In a press release, the sheriff's office said that on the early evening of May 14, 2024, deputies assigned to the Patrol Operations Bureau responded to the area of East Beach at Fort Desoto Park after receiving reports about a deceased dog wrapped in a plastic bag.

 

Upon arrival, deputies found a male Bulldog mix with his head decapitated, floating in the mangroves. According to the release, Pinellas County Animal Services scanned the dog for a microchip and were able to identify him as Dexter, the 4-year-old Bulldog mix whom RODRIGUEZ had adopted from them four days prior.

 

When deputies interviewed RODRIGUEZ at his residence, he “admitted to adopting Dexter and told them that Dexter must have run away overnight on May 10th,” stated the release.

 

Although RODRIGUEZ also admitted to traveling to Fort Desoto Park on May 11, 2024, he contradicted himself several times during his statement. He told deputies that he was there for about twenty-five minutes.

 

According to the arrest affidavit obtained by Voice For Us, surveillance cameras captured RODRIGUEZ driving his pickup truck in that area of Fort DeSoto Park on Saturday, May 11, 2024, with a cooler in the back.

 

RODRIGUEZ’s wife told deputies that when she went to bed on Friday night, Dexter was alive and well. She added that when she woke up on Saturday morning, Dexter and her husband were gone.

 

At RODRIGUEZ’s home, deputies also found bags like the one in which Dexter was found.

 

The murderer was placed under arrest and charged with one count of Animal Cruelty and one count of Disposal of Bodies of Dead Animals. He was released the same day from the Pinellas County Jail after he was able to post a $5,150 bail.

 

The investigation continues.
