MASON VAN MCMULLIN accused of torturing and killing animals on video

- Mississippi, USA -

 

The Marion County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrested of 24-year-old MASON VAN MCMULLIN, of Foxworth (pictured).

 

According to the media release by the sheriff's office, on September 26, 2024, deputies received information that a male, later identified as MCMULLIN, was torturing and killing animals on video.

 

Acting on information received, deputies were dispatched to an address in Foxworth to conduct a welfare check on the animals. MCMULLIN was then taken to the sheriff’s office to be interviewed by investigators. As a result of the interview, MCMULLIN was placed in custody and a search warrant was served at his residence.

 

The following day, deputies received additional information that led deputies to serve another search warrant at MCMULLIN’s residence. “During the search, physical and electronic evidence was collected”, stated the release.

 

The sheriff’s office did not disclose information about the animals involved in the case.

 

MCMULLIN was charged with seven counts of aggravated animal cruelty and two counts of “unnatural intercourse.”

 

At the time of writing, records show that MCMULLIN is being held at the Marion County Jail with a $500,000 cash only bond.

 

The sheriff’s office advised that the investigation is ongoing and additional charges are expected.

RY'QUELL JAI-RIE BELL caught on video savagely abusing two defenseless dogs

- Florida, USA -

 

On the evening of Tuesday, September 24, 2024, the Cape Coral Police Department arrested 20-year-old RY'QUELL JAI-RIE BELL (pictured), for animal cruelty.

 

A few hours earlier, BELL had just been released from the Lee County Jail for robbery and theft charges.

 

With regard to the animal cruelty charges, police said that officers were called to an apartment on Steeple Circle after a resident caught BELL on video abusing two defenseless dogs.

 

One video showed BELL letting the furvictims into an apartment and violently kicking one of them. The poor soul can be heard crying really loudly and can be seen falling on his/her side as a result of the savage kick.

 

In another video, BELL can be seen “letting the dogs out of an apartment and then hitting one with a bottle. The dog was heard yelping”, said police.

 

An investigation revealed that the dogs were not BELL’s and they are now back with their guardian.

 

BELL was charged with one misdemeanor count of animal cruelty and court records show he was released after posting bond. He is scheduled to be arraigned on October 15, 2024, at 8:00 a.m.

Hernando family arrested and twenty-two animals removed from their home

- Florida, USA -

 

The Citrus County Sheriff's Office arrested 53-year-old CAROLYN PATRICIA BROWN, 33-year-old BENJAMIN SEXTON BROWN JR, and 33-year-old ROBERT VANCE BROWN III (all pictured).

 

According to the arrest reports provided to Voice For Us, on September 19, 2024, Deputy Estepp responded to a home on 2276 East Kennett Drive in Hernando in reference to an animal neglect call.

 

Upon arrival, the deputy spoke with Animal Control Officer Gallant who said that he received a call regarding the wellbeing of the animals at the residence. ACO Gallant said that when he arrived at the residence and knocked on the front door, he could smell the strong odor of ammonia emitting from the front door, and when the front door was opened, he saw many cats roaming inside.

 

ACO Gallant was allowed to enter the home and once inside, he saw the living room floor covered from one wall to the other with feces, some of which had white mold growing along it due to it having been left there for an extended period of time.

 

ACO Gallant found animals in each room of the house, and the floor of each room was covered in feces. The officer saw cats and dogs walking on those floors.

 

After learning about ACO Gallant’s findings, Deputy Estepp spoke with the residents of the property (the arrestees) who allowed him inside the home. The deputy confirmed everything that ACO Gallant had reported.

Deputy Estepp saw four dogs, many cats wandering around, and a rabbit. He described the rabbit as “discolored”. The deputy reported that the rabbit was in a cage that was filled with feces and was not cleaned which caused the rabbit’s natural white coat to become grayish-brown.

 

There were also two juveniles in the home walking barefoot.

 

Officials removed a total of twenty-two (22) animals, including seventeen (17) cats, four (4) dogs, and one (1) rabbit. The Citrus County Sheriff’s Office tells me that “Several cats had upper respiratory infections and other obvious illnesses that had been left untreated. The dogs also had untreated medical conditions.”

 

The arrestees were charged with twenty-two (22) misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty and additional charges may be added depending on medical exams.

 

ROBERT VANCE BROWN III is the only one who is still in custody and held at no bond due to him being a registered sex offender.
