BERNANRD WALLACE arrested and forty dogs removed from his property

- Georgia, USA -


The Johnson County Sheriff's Office announced that on December 8, 2024, 52-year-old BERNARD WALLACE (pictured), was arrested in connection with a significant animal cruelty case spanning Crawford and Johnson counties.


The day after the arrest, multiple agencies partnered with the sheriff’s office to remove forty dogs from WALLACE’s property on Robert Powell Road.


The sheriff’s office said in a press release that due to the dogs’ “deplorable living conditions and urgent health concerns” they were all taken to an undisclosed Animal Rescue and Care Unit where they will receive necessary medical treatment and care.


According to the sheriff's office, the investigation, which began in October 2024, “has uncovered evidence of additional animals being held under similar conditions in multiple counties across Georgia.”


WALLACE was charged with twenty-five (25) counts of animal cruelty, with other charges pending. The sheriff’s office said WALLACE’s arrest was only one step in stopping a larger problem in the community.


As stated in the press release, “Animal cruelty is a serious and intolerable offense that reflects deep depravity and a disregard for the well-being of innocent creatures.”


The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to contact Captain Angie Coleman or Investigator Randy Sumner at (478) - 864 - 4006. Thank you!

DAVID THOMPSON, accused of stabbing two dogs in Colorado in 2022, killing one, arrested in Arkansas

- Colorado, USA -


On the night of August 29, 2022, a male stabbed two defenseless dogs, named Diesel and Jax, from outside the fenced yard of their home off of 6th Street near the McDonalds in Wellington.


Sadly, Jax lost his precious life during the attack while Diesel was seriously injured.

Jax was the emotional support dog for Yadhira Morales.


The Lamier County Sheriff’s Office was alerted to the incident and launched an investigation.

Ms. Morales offered a reward for information and the sheriff’s office reached out to the public in hopes of identifying the suspect.

Tips from the community led investigators to identify the suspect as 47-year-old DAVID THOMPSON (pictured).


More than two years later, the sheriff’s office has now announced that “After an extensive investigation, which included analyzing forensic and digital evidence and traveling to Arkansas to interview the suspect, LCSO obtained a warrant for Thompson.”


In November, THOMPSON was arrested in Arkansas and extradited to Larimer County on two felony counts of aggravated animal cruelty. He was issued a $15,000 cash/surety bond by the Larimer County Court which he was able to post on November 21, 2024.


According to the sheriff’s office, THOMPSON had no prior connection to Ms. Morales, her yard or her dogs.


Captain Bobby Moll, who leads the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office Investigations Division, said: “This was a disturbing case that robbed a family of their beloved pet. Our team put considerable effort into identifying the person responsible and building a strong, evidence-based case. While it can’t reverse the loss, I hope this arrest brings some measure of comfort.”


THOMPSON is due back in court on January 17, 2024.

BOBBY LEE WATSON arrested after six dogs were found chained up, injured, and malnourished

- North Carolina, USA -


The Gaston County Police Department made an arrest in reference to an animal cruelty case that occurred last month.


On October 3, 2024, Gaston County Police Animal Care and Enforcement responded to a home on 2106 Withers Street in Gastonia where officials found six dogs chained up. Police said in a press release that all the furvictims appeared to be “severely malnourished with multiple injuries.”


All the dogs were removed and according to police, they are “with a rescue organization which is providing comprehensive care for them, focusing on socialization and meeting their general needs to support their well-being and development.”


As the investigation progressed, on November 26, 2024, police arrested 49-year-old BOBBY LEE WATSON (pictured).

WATSON was charged with six counts of animal cruelty and booked into the Gaston County Jail. He was released after posting a $100,000 bond.


Police did not release any additional information about the dogs, so I emailed the Department as well as Gaston County Police Animal Care and Enforcement. If I get a response, I will post an update.
