KYLE JAMES VINCENT, former Fairmount Police officer, charged with the death of his K9 Officer Zeus

Updated: Oct 20, 2024

- Indiana, USA -

 

On June 6, 2024, one misdemeanor charge of animal cruelty was filed against former Fairmount Police officer 36-yar-old KYLE JAMES VINCENT.

 

The Grant County Prosecutor's Office charged VINCENT following an incident that happened on Sunday, September 10, 2023, when VINCENT’s K9 Officer Zeus died in the back of VINCENT’s patrol car.

Zeus lost his precious life after being left in the vehicle for around twelve (12) hours following his overnight shift.

 

Zeus was taken to the Comfort Veterinary Hospital in Marion for a necropsy.

 

On September 11, 2023, Indiana State Police launched an investigation and the following day, VINCENT resigned.

 

According to court documents, that Sunday morning VINCENT returned home with K9 Officer Zeus at around 6:00 a.m. and discovered him lifeless at around 6:00 p.m. as he was getting ready for his next shift.

 

As per court documents, VINCENT called Fairmount Police Chief Richard Dollar after 7:00 p.m. to advise him of what happened.

 

Chief Dollar said that VINCENT changed his version of the facts several times.

 

Documents stated that VINCENT told Chief Dollar that when he found Zeus dead, he did not remember leaving him in the vehicle and that “the whole night was a ‘fog’ due to his depression and PTSD.”

ANGELA BRIDGES GEARY, owner of Little Friends Pet Lodge, accused of neglecting animals

Updated: Oct 20, 2024

- Florida, USA -

 

The Quincy Police Department arrested 62-year-old ANGELA BRIDGES GEARY (pictured),  owner of Little Friends Pet Lodge.

 

Court documents obtained by Voice For Us accuse GEARY of keeping cats and dogs at her business on 43 N Cleveland Street in deplorable condition.

 

When Quincy Police Sgt. Barber first responded to the facility back in March, he reported that he was “overwhelmed with the scent of urine and fecal matter” to the point that he started vomiting.

Quincy Police had been contacted by GEARY’s former employees after discovering a freezer with dead cats and dogs inside.

 

According to Sgt. Barber’s report, when he entered the facility, he saw fecal matter on the floor along with cat litter, dog wee pads, and urine-stained newspapers. He saw kennels that were covered in feces and had no food or water for the cats and dogs who were housed inside.

 

Forty-one (41) dogs and ten (10) cats were found on the property in inhumane conditions.

 

Based on his findings, Sgt. Barber contacted the Code Enforcement Department and the business was issued a stop work order for all business at the location. Sgt. Barber also called in Animal Control and the ASPCA who responded with cleaning supplies and food for the cats and dogs.

 

The freezer containing the deceased animals was transported to the ASPCA in Gainesville and all of the furvictims, approximately eight-seven (87), were released to Elizabeth Pearlman, DVM a Forensic Veterinarian for Humane Law Enforcement. For most of the animals a necropsy could not be performed as they were in an advanced state of decomposition and crushed from being stacked in the freezer. 

 

In April, Dr. Pearlman contacted investigators to give an update on the first thirty-two (32) animals who were set aside for a necropsy. She advised that twenty-three (23) of them were felines and nine (9) were puppies, one without a head. Dr. Pearlman advised that all of the animals showed signs of “severe flea infestation” and said that to complete all the necropsies would require approximately three more months.

 

During the investigation, GEARY agreed to sign over fifty-one (51) animals to JUDY LYNN DUBOIS, owner of Du Bois Rescue.

As many of you know, Leon County authorities arrested DUBOIS in May 2024, and six dogs were removed from her property.

 

GEARY was arrested on June 2, 2024, on fifty-one counts of animal cruelty and fifty-one counts of confining animals without sufficient food.

She was released from the Gadsden County Jail the following day after posting a $5,000 bond.

According to court records, GEARY’s arraignment is scheduled for June 25, 2024, at 11:15 a.m.

JASMINE MOUTON and KENDEL TYLER arrested – She threw 2 puppies into a dumpster, he did not stop her

Updated: Oct 20, 2024

- Louisiana, USA -

 

The St. Landry Parish Government arrested 22-year-old JASMINE MOUTON and 22-year-old KENDEL TYLER both of Opelousas.

 

The agency had reached out to the public for assistance in identifying a female who was captured by surveillance cameras dumping two puppies into a trash can outside of Sebastian West End Seafood on 1538 W Landry Street in Opelousas. The incident took place on the early evening of Sunday, June 2, 2024.

 

That female was later identified as MOUTON.

 

The disgusting video showed MOUTON and TYLER walking behind Sebastian West End Seafood; MOUTON was carrying a puppy and another was following her. She opened the dumpster, threw the puppy she was carrying into it, then grabbed the other puppy and threw him/her in too.

 

MOUTON and TYLER then walked away as if they had just dumped trash.

 

Officials said the puppies were found after a resident heard barking and after checking their surveillance camera, they saw what MOTON did. The puppies were in the dumpster for hours before they were found. Animal Control responded to the scene but the resident is caring for the furvictims. 

 

On June 3, 2024, MOUTON and TYLER were arrested on two counts of aggravated cruelty to animals charges.

 

At the time of writing, records show that MOUTON is being held into the St. Landry Parish Jail.
