BRANDON DALE MAGILL, Madison city firefighter, arrested in connection with the killing of a puppy

- Alabama, USA -


The Huntsville Police Department arrested 37-year-old Captain BRANDON DALE MAGILL (pictured), a Madison Fire and Rescue firefighter, for animal cruelty.


Police said MAGILL turned himself in after a warrant was issued following a report that was filed on February 20, 2025.


The police did not release additional information as the investigation is ongoing. However, according to a post by Sarah Ann on the Facebook public group What's Happening in Huntsville, Madison, Athens?, MAGILL beat a German Shepherd puppy to death and was arrested after he was caught on video.


With regard to MAGILL’s arrest, the city of Madison released the following statement:


“The City of Madison is deeply concerned by the recent violent behavior of a Madison Fire and Rescue employee. This conduct is unacceptable and does not reflect the values MF&R upholds. As a result, the City of Madison has begun the disciplinary investigation proceedings by placing the individual on administrative leave.”


It’s unclear whether MAGILL is still in the position of Captain for the department.
