JAQUAVIAN LEVONTA DEVOL arrested after a dead snake and a starved dog were found in a Wellington home

- Florida, USA -


The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office arrested 21-YEAR-OLD JAQUAVIAN LEVONTA DEVOL (pictured).


According to the affidavit obtained by Voice For Us, on April 28, 2025, a deputy responded to a home on 2524 Stonegate Drive in Wellington to assist with the execution of a search warrant.


The deputy reported that upon searching the home, he discovered a deceased snake in a terrarium and in the garage confined in cage was a small male gray Pitbull. The cage was covered with dried feces and there was no food or water for the dog.

The deputy saw some dog food bags which were old and empty. According to the deputy, the Pitbull was “very thin” with his spine, ribs, and hips showing.


It was determined that the dog and the snake were DEVOL's. He told the deputy that when he was given the snake, the animal was already dead and that “he was waiting for the snake to decompose so he could have the skeleton.”


Palm Beach County Animal Control responded to the scene and noticed that there was no food or water for the snake inside the terrarium.


DEVIL, oops, excuse me, DEVOL was arrested and booked into the Palm Beach County Jail. At the time of writing, records show he is still in custody.


On April 30, 2025, DEVOL was arraigned on two felony counts of aggravated animal cruelty for the cruel and unnecessary pain and suffering inflicted on the snake’s death and the Pitbull, one felony count of animal cruelty for depriving the Pitbull of necessary sustenance and shelter, and one felony count of confinement of animals for confining the Pitbull in a cage without adequate food and water.

DEVOL pled not guilty to all charges. He is expected back at Palm Beach Circuit Court on May 28, 2025, at 10:30 a.m.

ERIC LAVERN HILL arrested after two dogs were found in filthy conditions and one was found dead

- Iowa, USA -


The Des Moines Police Department said that on Saturday, January 14, 2023, 38-years-old ERIC LAVERN HILL (pictured), took a dog to a veterinarian to be cremated.

The dog was an adult female black Pit/Lab mix named Dynasty.

Dynasty was unkempt and covered with sores. The veterinarian became alarmed due to the furbaby’s condition and Des Moines Animal Services became involved.


Authorities then executed a search warrant at HILL’s residence and the Animal Rescue League of Iowa assisted with the investigation. The organization said in a press release: “When an ARL Animal Services officer stepped into a Des Moines home, the stench was overwhelming.”

In the basement of the property, officials found two large dogs, named Blue and Lexi, shut in separate wire crates, living in their own filth, with no food or water.

Blue is an adult black/white female Labrador and Lexi is an adult brown female Doberman.


There was also an empty wire crate with its door open, the floor covered in dry animal waste. Inside the crate was Dynasty.


According to ARL, both Blue and Lexi needed immediate help, but Blue was the one in the worst condition as she was so thin that her ribs, hips, and spine were clearly visible. She weighed just 31 pounds. Blue was also extremely dehydrated.

Blue was placed on a special refeeding program to help her regain weight safely.


HILL was charged with two counts of Animal Neglect – Serious Injury or Death and one count of Animal Neglect.


Last week, through a Facebook post, ARL advised that Blue “has made great progress over the last several weeks.” The organization said that thanks to a special refeeding program, she has gained 16 pounds. According to a recent update posted by ARL, Blue was adopted this past weekend.


Animal Rescue League of Iowa tells me that Lexi has also been adopted.

GREGORY R. ROSIER arrested for repeatedly striking a Pitbull on his head with a wrench

- New York, USA -


On the afternoon of Tuesday, September 6, 2022, the Jamestown Police Department's Second Platoon responded to an address on the south side of the city for a dispute.


In a press release police said that officers were advised that something happened to a dog who was on the scene of the incident.

Upon arrival, officers found a gray Pitbull “laying on the ground and unable to move.”


WNY News Now identified the Pitbull as a male named Kovu.

Kovu was bleeding from several open wounds on his head and face.


From an investigation it emerged that 57-years-old GREGORY R. ROSIER (pictured), broke up a fight between his dog and Kovu. “Neither dog was injured in the fight”, said police.


Officers learned from witnesses that after the fight between the dogs was over, and the dogs were separated, ROSIER struck Kovu in the head and face, for no apparent reason, with a metal object which according to WNY News Now was a wrench.


Witnesses told police Kovu “was docile and showed no aggression as Rosier continued to strike the dog numerous times.”

Witnesses further stated that the only reason ROSIER stopped striking the dog was because they intervened.


Kovu’s guardians, Kiara Aossey and Zachary Scott, gave their version of the facts to WNY News Now and Zachary said: “I guess my dog had slipped off his collar and was up here and before I could even know they were up here getting aggressive I guess, my neighbor had told me that my dog was literally up in the Pearl City Cycle van trying to be friendly and get pet by everybody. I guess he turned around and this man’s dog got aggressive and started growling towards my dog. When he turned around to see what was going on, he claimed that they were fighting and instead of breaking it up with his hands, he took a wrench and started hitting my dog in the head repeatedly with it.”


Kiara and Zachary told WNY News Now that their furbaby has never been aggressive towards anyone, or any other dog. Zachary said: “He’s a very friendly, nice, loving pitbull. One of the most loving pitbulls I’ve seen around here, and actually since I moved here I’ve been chased by a couple of pitbulls who were nowhere near as friendly as my pitbull has been trained to be.”


Zachary’s mother rushed Kovu to the Fluvanna vet and according to Kiara staff were very busy so they weren’t able to see Kovu inside but they came outside. Kiara said that Kovu has “a very bad concussion, he’s able to walk but he has a very bad concussion. He has a blood blister on the top of his left side.”


According to Kiara and Zachary, this isn’t the first incident ROSIER had with an animal and they now want him to lose his right to “own” a dog.

Zachary even claimed that ROSIER told him “he was going to have to put his own dog down because his own dog attacked his girlfriend.”


Police arrested ROSIER and charged him with one felony count of aggravated cruelty to animals.

Police said ROSIER is being held in the Jamestown City Jail pending his arraignment.

Online court records show ROSIER is slated to be arraigned on Monday, September 12, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. in the Jamestown City Court before the Honorable Judge John L. Lamancuso.
