CLAUDE ANTHONY SANDERS JR, convicted felon, arrested for dogfighting

- North Carolina, USA -

 

The Iredell County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of 46-years-old CLAUDE ANTHONY SANDERS JR (pictured).

 

In a media release, the sheriff’s office said that an investigation into SANDERS began after authorities identified him as “a key figure in the training, distributing, and arranging of dog fights in North Carolina, South Carolina, and other states.”

 

The investigation led to the execution of a search warrant on February 1, 2024, at a property on 196 Whitney Lane in Statesville.

 

Members of the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Unit and Criminal Investigations Division, along with members of the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Response (SERT) Team found many dogs who were being kept in deplorable conditions.

 

According to the media release, “A large number of the dogs were kept in outside kennels, and most of these were covered in feces and urine. Several of the dogs had obvious scars and facial injuries from previous dog fights. There were also signs of forced breeding and various exercise equipment to develop strength and stamina, which aid in dog fighting.”

 

In addition to numerous items used to train dogs to fight, medication and treatment supplies for injured dogs, the search led to the discovery of marijuana and a handgun.

 

Investigators removed twenty-five (25) dogs from the hellish property.

 

SANDERS was placed under arrest and booked into the Iredell County Detention Center on twenty-four felony counts of cruelty to animals as well as Felony Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon, and Misdemeanor Possession of Marijuana.

SANDERS was then taken before Magistrate M. Nethken who issued a $200,000 secured bond.

I have emailed the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office to inquire about the dogs and the good news is that “No dogs were found deceased on the property” and “No dogs have been euthanized.”

ROOSEVELT CHANDLER JR. arrested after his dog was rescued from flood waters while chained to a tree

- South Carolina, USA -


The Georgetown County Sheriff's Office announced the arrest of 35-years-old ROOSEVELT CHANDLER JR. (pictured).

 

On Sunday, December 17, 2023, deputies responded to a flooded lot off Highmarket Street after receiving reports of a dog barking in distress.

 

Upon arrival, deputies found a helpless dog who was “chained to a tree and standing in water up to her shoulders”, said the sheriff’s office.

 

According to a media release by the sheriff's office, a “deputy waded into the water and removed the dog’s chain. A leash was attached to her collar, and she was placed in a patrol car.”

 

The deputies who responded to the scene noted in the report that “The doghouse provided for the animal was submerged to the point where only approximately a couple of inches of the opening of the house could be seen.”

 

Since the road to St. Frances Animal Center was flooded, rain was still falling heavily at the time of the call, deputies took the Voiceless Victim back to the sheriff’s office where they fed her and gave her water and a kennel.

 

The following day, the furbaby was taken to St. Francis Animal Center, where she is currently being housed.

 

Deputies were later connected with a man, identified as CHANDLER, who admitted the dog was his. He further admitted to leaving the dog outside and told deputies that when he returned the following day and did not see her, he figured she had gotten off the chain.

 

A Georgetown County magistrate judge issued a warrant for animal cruelty and CHANDLER was arrested and booked into the Georgetown County Detention Center. His bond was set at $2,500.

PRINCE WILLIAM DENNIS arrested for leaving his dog in a hot car while he was at work

- South Carolina, USA -


Aiken County authorities arrested 28-years-old PRINCE WILLIAM DENNIS (pictured) for animal cruelty.


On the morning of Saturday, June 3, 2023, officers responded to the 2530 block of Whiskey Road in Aiken after receiving a report about a dog in distress in a hot car.

Officers found a vehicle with a Georgia tag and a dog inside. Officers reported that a bowl for water was empty and the other one that appeared to be for dog food, did not have any.


The reporting party told officers that she did not know how long the car had been in the parking lot.

Officers returned to the scene later on the same day to find the dog still in the car with a temperature hitting 86 degrees.

The Voiceless Victim was then taken to a local ASPCA.


In the afternoon, DENNIS called police asking about his dog. DENNIS told officers that he takes his dog with him when he goes to work and leaves him/her in the car. DENNIS went on to say that while the dog is in the car, he periodically checks on him/her and claimed that last time he checked on the dog it was approximately 10:00 a.m. and when he checked again at 3:00 p.m., the dog was gone.


Court records show that DENNIS, of Blythe, Georgia, was arrested on June 5, 2023, and charged with one count of ill-treatment of animals. He was released on his own recognizance.


I have sent out several emails and requested additional information about the furbaby.

If I get a response, I will update the article accordingly.
