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.

VINCENT CLAY COSTNER II, Gastonia Police officer, arrested and accused of torturing a dog

- North Carolina, USA -


The Gastonia Police Department arrested 41-year-old corporal VINCENT CLAY COSTNER II (pictured).


The arrest warrant accuses COSTNER of torturing a black 1 year and 4-month-old Great Dane on March 31, 2025, causing “unjustifiable pain and suffering.”


Gastonia Police said they launched an investigation into COSTNER earlier this year when “concerns were brought to the attention of local authorities.”


The investigation resulted in COSTNER’s arrest on April 28, 2025. COSTNER was booked into the Gaston County Jail on one felony count of cruelty to animals and was released less than half an hour later after posting a $5,000 bond.


Gastonia Police Chief Trent Conrad expressed his disappointment and said: “I am deeply disappointed by this situation. We hold our officers to the highest standards of conduct, both on and off duty. No one — especially those who are entrusted with protecting the public — is above the law.”


COSTNER has been with the department since December 15, 2020, and his current employment status is unknown.

BRANDON LEE DWAYNE LITTKE threw two kittens out of a moving vehicle and drove over one of them killing the kitten

- Michigan, USA -


Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Loren Worthy charged 25-year-old BRANDON LEE DWAYNE LITTKE (pictured) with one count of abandoning two to three animals and one count of animals killing/torturing.

LITTKE is accused of abandoning two helpless kittens at a Detroit gas station.


The incident, which was caught on surveillance cameras, happened on the morning of April 21, 2025, at a gas station in the 24800 block of West 7 Mile Road and Grand River Avenue.


LITTKE is accused of throwing the furvictims out of a moving vehicle and running over one of them, killing the kitten, before fleeing the scene.


The Detroit Police Department launched an investigation and LITTKE was eventually arrested on April 24, 2025.


The surviving kitten, who was rescued by a bystander, is now in the care of Michigan Humane. The organization wrote in a Facebook post: “The surviving cat from Monday’s tragic incident is currently in our care and doing very well. He is not up for adoption at this time. He is being held as part of the investigation and will be in a forever home soon. We are assisting the Detroit Police Department with this ongoing case.”


I took the liberty of naming the deceased kitten Cinnamon for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.
