- Florida, USA -
The Tampa Police Department arrested 43-year-old JASON CHRISTOPHER LARSON (pictured).
On the early evening of March 23, 2025, officers responded to the 700 block of W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard for a report of a fire in the parking lot. Witnesses reported seeing a male, later identified as LARSON, starting the fire in the parking lot.
Officers found a dead dog after putting out the flames. LARSON fled the area before police arrived.
Approximately half an hour later, Tampa Police responded to a call reporting a single car traffic crash on the Courtney Campbell Causeway. Upon arrival, officers found an empty car and LARSON standing on a ledge along the causeway making statements that he had killed a dog.
Police said that after more than two hours, LARSON was taken into protective custody and transported to Orient Road Jail on animal cruelty charges.
Police tell me the dog was a Pug but no additional details were released and the investigation remains active.
I took the liberty of naming the Voiceless Victim Honey for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.
