TIMOTHY D. BROWN aka TIMMIE BROWN arrested for beating a puppy to death

Updated: Mar 8

- New York, USA -


48-year-old TIMOTHY D. BROWN aka TIMMIE BROWN (pictured), is accused of a crime involving the death of an innocent male Pug puppy named Goji.


On February 26, 2025, the Buffalo City Police Department received a call about a deceased puppy found at a home on Shields Avenue. The caller also shared the home with BROWN.


According to the press release by the Erie County District Attorney’s Office, authorities learned that BROWN “intentionally” struck Goji multiple times resulting in his death.


The savage was arrested and charged with one felony count of aggravated cruelty to animals and one count of harassment in the second degree (violation).


On February 27, 2025, BROWN was arraigned before Buffalo City Court Judge Carrie Phillips and then released on his own recognizance as the charges are non-qualifying offenses for bail.

A temporary protection order has been issued for the human victim, along with a “no animal” order that prohibits BROWN from “owning” or caring for any animals while the case is ongoing.


BROWN is due back in court on the morning of Thursday, March 20, 2025, at 9:30.

If convicted of the most serious charge, he could face up to ONLY two years in prison and then he will be free to resume his pathetic and useless existence.


Goji, on the other hand, won’t have a second life!


I asked the Erie County District Attorney’s Office how old Goji was and I was told: “We do not have an exact age for the deceased dog – approximately 5 months to 12 months old, which is why we referred to him as a puppy.” To my question regarding the details of the incident, the answer was: “Also, we cannot disclose any details about the cause of death due to the ongoing investigation as a necropsy has not been completed at this time.”


The Erie County District Attorney's Office pointed out that "As are all persons accused of a crime, the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law."

Erie County District Attorney John J. Flynn announced that 18-years-old ZACHARY A. JACKSON (pictured), was arraigned on Friday, May 12, 2023, before Cheektowaga Town Court Justice David Stevens on one count of Aggravated Cruelty to Animals (Class “E” felony under Agriculture and Markets Law) and one count of Overdriving, Torturing and Injuring Animals; Failure to Provide Proper Sustenance (Class “A” misdemeanor under Agriculture and Markets Law).


As stated in a press release by the Erie County District Attorney’s Office, “It is alleged that on April 19, 2023, the defendant, with the intent to kill or cause serious physical injuries to a companion animal, by attempting to drown a family member’s dog in the bathtub at a home on Girard Avenue in the Town of Cheektowaga.”

JACKSON will return to Cheektowaga Town Court on Thursday, June 8, 2023 at 9:30 a.m. for a felony hearing. He was held without bail pending the results of a forensic examination.

If convicted of the highest charge, JACKSON faces a maximum sentence of ONLY two years in prison.


District Attorney John Flynn said: “My office will continue to prosecute animal abusers to the fullest extent of the law. I want [to] thank the SPCA for not only their work in this investigation, but also for the work they do every day to help animals in our community.”


On a separate note, according to the press release, the animal cruelty charges are the most recent ones that JACKSON is facing. In fact, he is also facing multiple other charges stemming from three separate cases in Buffalo and Cheektowaga.


JACKSON is accused of damaging a cell door while in Cheektowaga Police custody on May 9, 2023.

The press release goes on to state that in a case pending in Cheektowaga Town Court, JACKSON is accused of pouring lighter fluid on a family member's vehicle and allegedly used a blowtorch to set it on fire.

Additionally, JACKSON has a case pending in Buffalo City Court where in January 2023, he was charged with one count of Criminal Mischief in the Third Degree for allegedly throwing a cart through a building on Hudson Street in Buffalo on December 22, 2022.

SHERMIKA A. WALKER arraigned on animal cruelty charges for leaving dog in a hot car

- New York, USA -


Erie County District Attorney John J. Flynn announced that 37-year-old SHERMIKA A. WALKER, of Buffalo, was arraigned on Wednesday, June 29, 2022, before Cheektowaga Town Justice James J. Speyer, Jr. on one count of overdriving, torturing and injuring animals; failure to provide proper sustenance (Class “A” Misdemeanor under New York Agriculture and Markets Law), and one count of confinement of companion animals in vehicles: extreme temperatures (violation under New York Agriculture and Markets Law).


On June 15, 2022, Cheektowaga Police and Cheektowaga Animal Control officers responded to a 911 call for a report of a dog inside a parked vehicle at the Airport Plaza in Cheektowaga.

At the time of the incident, temperatures were around 91 degrees.


Upon arrival, officers found a dog inside WALKER’s vehicle.

The furbaby, a male 8-year-old Boston Terrier mix, appeared to be in severe distress. He was “seizing and vomiting due to the heat inside of the vehicle.”

The dog was rushed to the Great Buffalo Veterinary Emergency Clinic on Genesee Street for treatment. He had a high temperature and showed signs of severe heatstroke.

DA Flynn said in a press release that “The dog is currently in the custody of the SPCA Serving Erie County where it continues to receive treatment.”


SPCA Animal Cruelty Investigations Officer William Heine opened an investigation and charged WALKER. She was issued an appearance ticket to be arraigned in Cheektowaga Town Justice Court on June 29, 2022.

After her arraignment WALKER was released on her own recognizance as the charges are non-qualifying offenses for bail. (What a joke!!!!)


According to the DA’s office, WALKER is scheduled to return on Wednesday, July 13, 2022, at 9:30 a.m. for further proceedings.


If convicted of all charges, this heartless and soulless female faces a maximum sentence of ONLY one year in jail. (Again, what a joke!!!!)


DA Flynn commends the Cheektowaga Police Department, Town of Cheektowaga Animal Control, SPCA Serving Erie County and SPCA Animal Cruelty Investigations Officer William Heine for their work in this investigation. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Christine M. Garvey of the Animal Cruelty Unit.
