- Oklahoma, USA -
The Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of 74-year-old TROY WILL PIERCE (pictured).
According to the report provided to Voice For Us, on February 20, 2025, a deputy was dispatched to the area of 1722 E. 76th Street N. after receiving an animal cruelty complaint.
The deputy made contact with the reporting party who said that PIERCE's dogs were often roaming the neighborhood and he was concerned for their well-being considering the temperatures had been below freezing with wind chills below zero and the dogs did not have adequate shelter.
The man went on to say that before the deputy responded, he saw PIERCE's dog on his property and when he tried to approach her, she ran away. The man followed her to PIERCE's backyard where he discovered that the dog was nursing six puppies. Sadly, three of the puppies appeared to have frozen to death.
The reporting party then picked up the mama dog and her three surviving babies, took them to his home, and alerted the sheriff’s office.
The deputy then went to talk to PIERCE and showed him a picture of the mama dog that the reporting party had taken at his home.
PIERCE told the deputy that the dog was his son's, but he and his wife had been "in possession of the dog for approximately 4-5 years."
PIERCE went on to tell the deputy that he knew the dog had had puppies and that he had checked on them the night before when he realized that a couple of puppies had passed away but left them outside anyway.
PIERCE took the deputy out to the backyard. The deceased puppies were still there, "in a bare plastic dog house with no warming elements."
The deputy reported that the poor souls appeared to be only a couple of weeks old. He then looked around and saw two more young mixed-breed dogs in a bare doghouse inside a fenced pen. He further reported that all food and water for the furvictims were “frozen solid.”
Tulsa County Animal Control was called in to take possession of the remaining dogs.
PIERCE was arrested on three felony counts of animal cruelty and released after posting a $2,000 bond. He now awaits charges from Tulsa County District Attorney's Office.
