JASMINE NOLAN arrested for intentionally setting a fire that killed an innocent dog

- Louisiana, USA -

 

On the early morning of Thursday, January 4, 2024, the Lafayette Fire Department responded to Santa Rosa Apartment Complex on Merchants Boulevard in Lafayette near Verot School and West Pinhook roads for a fire report.

Upon arrival, firefighters saw flames stemming from an upstairs unit.

 

The fire quickly spread killing an innocent dog and causing damage to nearby units.

 

An investigation determined that 25-years-old JASMINE NOLAN (pictured), intentionally set the fire in the bathroom of her apartment. The Lafayette Fire Department did not disclose why NOLAN might have done it.

 

According to the press release by the Lafayette Fire Department and obtained by Voice For Us, NOLAN turned herself in and was booked into the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center on one count of aggravated cruelty to animals and twelve counts of aggravated arson.

Online records show that NOLAN was released after posting bond.

 

I have emailed the Lafayette Fire Department to inquire about the Voiceless Victim but the only information available is that the dog was 9 years old and he/she had been adopted from a local shelter. If I hear back from the sheriff’s office with information about the dog, I will post an update.

 

The fire remains under investigation.

 

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

Updated: Feb 10, 2024

- New York, USA -

 

On the night of June 28, 2023, the Norwood Village Police Department received a report about a dog in Norwood Lake.

Responding officers found a deceased female Pitbull in the water at the municipal boat launch on Norwood Lake.

 

The Department then took to Facebook the heartbreaking story and reached out to the community for assistance in locating the Voiceless Victim’s guardian. Part of the post read: “We are looking for anyone who may have information about this incident, or the dog.  Below is a picture of the collar.  The dog will be taken care of with respect by our agency until the owner can be located.”

 

After a lengthy investigation, police announced that on February 6, 2024, 41-years-old JOSHUA D. BROWNELL (pictured via Facebook), of Potsdam, was arrested and charged with one misdemeanor count of animal cruelty.

 

BROWNELL was released on a ticket to appear at Town of Potsdam Court in March 2024.

 

WWNY reports that Norwood Village Police Chief Shawn Wells said the public helped solve the case. BROWNELL was identified as the dog’s guardian and on his Facebook account, police found pictures of the Voiceless Victim, a brown and white Pitbull named Diamond with a distinctive pattern.

 

Police were assisted in their investigation by the Potsdam Animal Control Officer and the Potsdam Humane Society.

BETTY ANN DAVIS arrested after being caught on video twice throwing a dog off a second-story deck

Updated: Feb 8, 2024

- Pennsylvania, USA -

 

The Blooming Grove Police Department arrested 49-years-old BETTY ANN DAVIS.

 

On January 30, 2024, PSP Blooming Grove received a report about animal abuse that happened in the 5000 block of Woodbridge Drive East in Lehman Township, Pike County.

 

The reporting party explained to authorities that DAVIS, her roommate, was watching her dog, a small Pomsky. The dog’s guardian said that on January 29, 2024, DAVIS called her to say that her dog broke his/her leg by “getting caught in the crate.” The dog’s guardian then told DAVIS to take the dog to an emergency veterinarian.

 

When the dog’s guardian spoke with the veterinarian, she learned that her dog had a broken leg with the bone protruding from the skin, which possibly required amputation.

Furthermore, the veterinarian told the woman that the injury was “not consistent with the manner in which it was reported to have occurred.”

 

At that point the woman checked her home video starting from the night of January 28, 2024. According to police, footage showed DAVIS throwing the dog off the second-story deck before putting him/her back into the crate.

The Voiceless Victim remained in the crate with the protruding broken bone overnight, until the following morning when DAVIS called the dog’s guardian.

 

As the dog’s guardian watched more footage, she learned that on January 9, 2024, DAVIS had done the same thing before. She took the defenseless dog and threw him/her dog off the second-story deck.

 

DAVIS, of Bushkill, is facing multiple charges, including two felony counts of aggravated cruelty to animals by causing significant bodily injury or death and torture, along with two misdemeanors of cruelty to animals.

Court records show that DAVIS was arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Randy Schmalzle on January 31, 2024. Schmalzle set a $30,000 unsecured bail which DAVIS was able to post. DAVIS is due back in court for her preliminary hearing on the morning of Tuesday, February 13, 2024, at 10:00 a.m.


FOX 56 WOLF reports: “According to Pennsylvania State Police, Davis is employed by the Mid-Hudson Forensic Psychiatric Center in New Hampton, New York.” 


If I hear back from the PSP regarding the dog’s condition, I will post an update.
