BECKHAM MCLEOD arrested after he was witnessed kicking and abusing his dog

- Florida, USA -

 

Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno announced the arrest of 20-years-old BECKHAM MCLEOD (pictured).

 

During a press conference, Sheriff Marceno said that on the afternoon of Tuesday, April 9, 2024, deputies responded to the Coastal Village Apartments off Three Oaks Parkway to investigate an animal abuse complaint.

 

The complainant told deputies they saw a male, later identified as MCLEOD, “violently beating his dog”. While on the phone with dispatchers, the witness began recording BECKHAM.

 

Part of the video presented at the press conference, showed MCLEOD kicking the dog, named King, and then dragging the furbaby.

Sheriff Marceno said that MCLEOD also stomped on King and kicked him on his face. According to the sheriff, MCLEOD continued to “forcibly pull King with a leash before kicking him in the chest again.”

 

Deputies and detectives immediately “flooded the area” and located MCLEOD at his residence. Sheriff Marceno said that MCLEOD asked: “What? I can't reprimand my dog?”

 

Animal Services removed King and took him to get medical care. King was evaluated by a veterinarian who reported that the Voiceless Victim has bruising and swelling around the neck where he was kicked. King “suffered unnecessary pain and fear”, said Sheriff Marceno but he will make a full recovery! MCLEOD surrendered King who will remain in the care of Animal Services until he finds a loving home.

 

As Sheriff Marceno politely put it, “this pile of trash” was charged with aggravated animal cruelty and if convicted, he will be placed on the Animal Abuse Registry.

To this regard, let me remind you that Voice For Us also maintains an Animal Abuser Registry.

 

At time of writing, records show that MCLEOD is being held into the Lee County Jail.

He is scheduled to appear at Lee County Circuit Court on the morning of Monday, May 13, 2024, at 8:30.

NATHANIEL SHANE BREWSTER arrested after being seen on video mistreating his dog

- Alabama, USA -

 

The Lauderdale County Sheriff's Office arrested 20-years-old NATHANIEL SHANE BREWSTER (pictured), of Florence.

 

On Monday, April 8, 2024, the sheriff’s office became aware of a video circulating on social media showing animal cruelty toward a dog.

 

Investigators launched an investigation which led to the execution of a search warrant for a residence in Zip City.

 

BREWSTER was placed under arrest and charged with animal cruelty, second-degree possession of marijuana, and possession of marijuana.

 

According to court documents, the incident took place sometime in November or December of 2023.

 

The Voiceless Victim was rescued and turned over to the Florence/Lauderdale Animal Shelter.

I emailed Animal Services and I was told that the furvictim is a male Husky named Roscoe. Roscoe is about 10 months old and initially, he was “scared to be approached but has warmed up quickly”. I also learned that Roscoe was BREWSTER’s.

I was kindly provided with a picture of the furbaby (below).

 

At time of writing, records show that BREWESTER was released from custody after posting a $1,500 bond.

ROBERT PHILLIPS JR. could be facing charges after forty dogs were rescued from abusive conditions

- Ohio, USA -

 

Following tips from concerned citizens about animal cruelty at a property on 7474 Kilbourne Road in Kingston Township, forty dogs were rescued and the owner of the property, ROBERT PHILLIPS JR., could soon be facing charges.

 

The Delaware County Sheriff's Office explained in a media release that “Per Ohio law, the County Dog Warden and the Humane Society have primary authority regarding animals.”

 

On Sunday, April 7, 2024, Delaware County Dog Warden Mitchell Garrett obtained a warrant from Delaware Municipal Court Judge Kyle Rohrer to enter the property. The owner of the property, PHILLIPS, was not present during the raid, so no charges have been issued at this point, but are anticipated.

 

According to the multiple comments I have read on the Facebook page of the sheriff's office and the county dog shelter, authorities have known for four years about the conditions of the dogs and nothing was done before the Sunday’s raid.

 

Garrett said: “Mr. Phillips has been known to us for several years” but previous visits had found only six dogs, all in good health. Garrett also said that although complaints kept coming in, in recent years, no one would complete a witness statement that would enable the Dog Shelter staff to act.

According to Garrett, a “statement was received Friday night, alleging many more dogs on the property than were previously known and that they had been observed in abusive conditions.”

 

With the statement and the warrant, officials were able to enter the property, rescue the dogs, and also initiate a site investigation of the conditions.

 

Garrett said the raid took about three hours and was conducted with the help of personnel from the Humane Society of Delaware County, the Marion County Dog Warden’s Office, the Morrow County Humane Agent, and the nonprofit group Rico Pet Recovery.

 

The rescued dogs, most believed to be Pitbulls or Pitbull mixes, are being cared for at the Delaware County Dog Shelter and the Humane Society of Delaware County facility.

 

The Columbus Dispatch reports that “The Ohio Department of Agriculture maintains a database of high-volume dog breeders”. PHILLIPS, and the address of the home from which the dogs were rescued, are “listed in the state's database.”
