CARL LEE POSTON arrested – His dog was found in need of shelter, with matted fur and a wounded neck

- North Carolina, USA -

 

The Gaston County Police Department arrested 32-years-old CARL LEE POSTON (pictured), following an investigation conducted by Gaston County Animal Care and Enforcement.

 

In a media release, police said that on February 17, 2024, Gaston County Animal Care and Enforcement (GCACE) responded to a residence on Boulder Court in Gastonia  in reference to an animal cruelty investigation.  Upon arrival, officers found a dog, a black male Doodle named Bentley, who was in need of shelter.

 

GCACE then contacted a community partner who assisted by providing Bentley with a new doghouse, straw bedding, and a water bucket.  According to the press release, during this visit, it was discovered that Bentley “had severely matted fur and a wound on his neck that was possibly infected.”

 

GCACE said they were told vultures were close to Bentley, but none were around when officers were at the scene. Still, GCACE called the reports of vultures “concerning” and told Bentley’s guardian, POSTON, that Bentley would need to be seen by a veterinarian by the end of the day.

 

Police said that later that day Bentley and POSTON, “were escorted to an emergency vet for a medical assessment.” According to the vet, Bentley needed further medical treatment involving sedation, medical grooming, and wound treatment outside the capabilities of their facility.

 

The following day, February 18,  2024, Bentley was taken to a veterinarian clinic where he was “sedated, medically groomed, and the wound on his neck was flushed.”  After an antibiotic shot, Bentley was released from care with a follow up appointment in ten-fourteen days.

 

In an update, police advised that following days of close work with the Gaston County District Attorney’s Office, GCACE obtained warrants for POSTON’s arrest.

On February 20, 2024, the Gaston County Police Department’s FAST team arrested POSTON on two misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty.

 

Police said that Bentley will remain in GCACE’s care as evidence with an approved foster family.

 

As Gaston Police rightfully pointed out: “Responsible animal ownership requires an animal owner to provide sufficient shelter, food and water for their animals.  Additionally, animal owners are required to keep their animals updated on vaccinations and provide them with necessary vet care.”

 

When you decide to add a furmember to your family, UNDERSTAND and REMEMBER that he/she is a lifetime commitment, and his/her life depends on you! If at some point you feel  you want to break that commitment, reach out to your local shelter for help!

SAMANTHA LEE WHITE and JOHN WESLEY WHITE II arrested – She had sex with the family dog, he filmed it

- Florida, USA -

 

⚠️WARNING⚠️The article contains details some of you may find graphic⚠️

 

In this article there are references to “sexual interaction with animals.”

For the record, I totally disagree with the phrase as I firmly believe that it should be called what it is, RAPE!

 

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office arrested 26-years-old SAMANTHA LEE WHITE and her husband, 28-years-old JOHN WESLEY WHITE II (both pictured).

 

According to a media release by the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, detectives learned that SAMANTHA LEE WHITE had sexual intercourse with the family dog multiple times, and her husband recorded her engaging in the sex acts.

 

Court documents obtained by Voice For Us through a Public Search state that on February 15, 2024, a detective from the LCSO along with other members of the Department, executed a search warrant at the couple’s home in Fort Myers for an unrelated case regarding a “child sexual abuse material investigation.”

 

During her statement, SAMANTHA LEE WHITE said that she is “fascinated by a horse penis and it is interesting to her of how the horse's penis flares out” and said that she watched multiple related videos.

The report goes on to state that the woman then said she “allowed her brown Labrador retriever canine ‘Ruger’ to penetrate her vagina with his penis ‘a couple of times’ with the last occurrence being a month or so ago.”

The report further states: “Samantha advised the sexual interaction with her canine was ‘not my thing’ but since a horse's penis fascinated her, she decided to engage in sexual acts with her canine.”

 

According to the report, the woman “initially had sexual interaction with her canine when her husband was not present.”  The first time the husband was present, “the canine became aggressive and territorial”, stated the report. From that time, the husband “only watched her engaging in sex with their canine from behind the door.”

 

During the statement, the woman told the detective that “sometimes when she drinks she gets horny or at other times her husband would be asleep or showering and felt her male canine was giving her attention.”

 

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office said that Lee County Domestic Animal Services removed four dogs from the couple’s home and evaluated them for injuries. Thankfully, the Voiceless Victims are now safe and are being cared for.

 

The pair were arrested on February 15, 2024, and booked into the Lee County Jail. The wife was arrested “for sexual activities involving animals” and the husband was arrested for “filming pornographic images or videos of a person and an animal engaged in sexual activity.”

According to arrest records, they were released the following day after posting a $5,000 bond.

 

Court records show that she is scheduled to appear back in Lee County Circuit Court for her arraignment on the morning of Monday, March 18, 2024, at 8:30 a.m. before Judge Frank J. Porter.


Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno expressed his disgust for the couple’s actions and I strongly echo his sentiment!

In a statement Sheriff Marceno said: “I am disgusted by the actions of these two North Fort Myers residents. I will not tolerate any kind of abuse in Lee County. I stand by my guarantee to protect those who cannot protect themselves, and put criminals behind bars.”


The investigation is still ongoing.

ALANE SUZETTE MALTESE and ROBERT ANDREW MALTESE arrested for beating and stabbing a blind dog

- Arkansas, USA -

 

The Washington County Sheriff’s Office arrested 60-years-old ALANE SUZETTE MALTESE and her husband, 54-years-old ROBERT ANDREW MALTESE (both pictured).

 

On the morning of Friday, February 16, 2024, deputies were dispatched to Tara Road in Lincoln after a resident, Ms. Regina Thompson, called to report that her blind 16-year-old Pomeranian had been beaten with a metal object by her neighbor, ALANE SUZETTE MALTESE.

 

Ms. Thompson told deputies that she went out to her car when she heard yelling coming from the road. She looked and saw her dog standing in the road. According to Ms. Thompson, ALANE SUZETTE MALTESE ran from her yard towards the dog with a metal bar-like object and started cursing them. She then threatened to kill the dog and Ms. Thompson.

Ms. Thompson said that MALTESE then grabbed the dog, beat him/her with the metal object, and took him/her into her house. Ms. Thompson said that after that, MALTESE got into her vehicle and fled.   

 

Deputies interviewed a neighbor regarding the incident. The neighbor said he saw ROBERT ANDREW MALTESE walking outside with the dog, stuffing the furbaby into a trashcan and then stabbing him/her with a pitchfork. According to the neighbor, the dog could be heard “whelping and moaning” while being stabbed. The neighbor further said that MALTESE then proceeded to get the dog out of the trashcan, stuffed him/her into a bucket, and took him/her into the house.

 

At that point, deputies questioned MALTESE and he said he did not know what was going on. He told deputies he woke up to the yelling between his wife and Ms. Thompson. MALTESE denied his wife was beating Ms. Thompson’s dog. He claimed the dog was not inside his home and that he/she was safely chased from their home to Ms. Thompson’ s home. However, when deputies requested to search his home, MALTESE refused.

 

Deputies then called his wife on the phone and she said that she was on her way to Colorado and refused to answer the deputies’ questions.

 

A search warrant was obtained and served. Deputies found the dog still in the bucket that had an airtight lid on it. The Voiceless Victim was still alive but severely injured. Corporal Jake Hart with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office wrote in his report that the bucket was hidden underneath a cabinet “with a large water jug in front concealing it.”

Deputies returned the dog to Ms. Thompson who rushed him/her to the vet.

 

Deputies determined that the metal object used to beat the dog was the flat side of a machete. The machete and pitchfork were collected as evidence.

 

MALTES was placed under arrest and his wife was located at a church where she was taken into custody.

 

The veterinary report revealed that the dog had a fractured skull, fractured ribs, fractured front leg, and lacerations to the bone of the leg. Due to the severity of his/her injuries, the furvictim was sadly euthanized.

 

ALANE SUZETTE MALTESE is accused of first-degree terroristic threatening, aggravated cruelty to a dog, cat, or equine, and theft of property.

ROBERT ANDREW MALTESE is accused of aggravated cruelty to a dog, cat, or equine, tampering with physical evidence, hindering apprehension or prosecution, and theft of property.

 

Authorities did not disclose the furbaby’s name, so I took the liberty of naming him/her Blossom for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.
