CHARITY NICOLE KING, wanted for aggravated animal cruelty and animal abandonment, turned herself in

- Florida, USA -


The DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office announced that 37-years-old CHARITY NICOLE KING (pictured), turned herself in.


KING was wanted for aggravated animal cruelty and animal abandonment and the sheriff’s office had reached out to the public for assistance.


In a news release, the sheriff’s office said that in late July 2023, one German Shepherd and two Great Danes “were discarded like trash and left to suffer in a remote, rural part of DeSoto County.”


A Good Samaritan luckily found the malnourished furvictims and alerted the sheriff’s office. Its Criminal Investigative Division, led by Detective Sergeant Bailey, launched an investigation.

“….we were able to step in and ensure the dogs are no longer subjected to neglect and malnourishment”, stated the release.


Online arrest records show that KING was booked into the DeSoto County Jail on the evening of Wednesday, August 30, 2023, on three felony counts of abandonment of animals and two felony counts of aggravated animal cruelty. KING was released a few hours later after posting bond.


According to court records, KING’s arraignment is slated to take place on Monday, October 30, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. before DeSoto County Circuit Judge Don T. Hall.

- Georgia, USA -


The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office arrested 24-years-old MARQUAVIOUS DEUNTA MONTGOMERY and SANAE TOSHIAH RELEFORD (both pictured) for animal cruelty.


The arrest is the result of an attempted traffic stop. A deputy tried to stop a Honda Accord on Glendale Avenue in Macon with a headlight out. MONTGOMERY, who was driving the car, first slowed down, then jumped out of the vehicle, and ran away.


The sheriff’s office said MONTGOMERY was wanted on warrants in Statesboro, Bulloch County and Warner Robins, Houston and Peach counties.


The deputy followed MONTGOMERY to a nearby trailer where he and RELEFORD were found with two malnourished dogs. The deputy reported that the Voiceless Victims were shut in separate rooms, did not have any food or water, and there was a large amount of old feces and urine spread across the floor.


RELEFORD was placed under arrest on two counts of animal cruelty.

MONTOGOMERY was also arrested and charged with two counts of animal cruelty and in addition he was charged with a headlight violation, traffic violations, expired registration, driving with a suspended or revoked license, as well as willful obstruction of law enforcement officers.

REBECCA A. HALBACH and BRANDON L. LECONEY arrested - Dozens of dead dogs found inside their home

- New Jersey, USA -


The Evesham Police Department announced the arrest of 35-years-old REBECCA A. HALBACH and 32-years-old BRANDON L. LECONEY (both pictured).


In a press release, police said that on Monday, August 28, 2023, officers responded to a report of suspected animal cruelty at a home in the 600 block of Main Street in Evesham after a witness reported seeing multiple dogs at the property who “appeared to be sick and /or malnourished.”


Officers made contact with the residents, HALBACH and LECONEY, and discovered live and dead dogs inside the home. Police said the conditions inside the residence were extremely poor due to the number of deceased animals.

According to the release, more than thirty (30) dead dogs were found inside the home “throughout the living space.” Officers also found fourteen live dogs as well as several live cats and rabbits. Nine (9) dogs were taken to the Mt. Laurel Animal Hospital. Many of them were in extremely poor health to the extent that one of them had sadly to be euthanized.


Police said that from the investigation it emerged that as many as a hundred (100) dogs have died in this home and some of them could be buried on the property.


During a press conference, Evesham Police Chief Walt Miller said that a North Carolina-based nonprofit had been placing dogs with HALBACH and LECONEY to be fostered. The organization had been giving money to the couple to care for the dogs but became suspicious that the Voiceless Victims were not being cared for so they sent a representative to New Jersey to investigate.


That person then reported the duo to police and the investigation began. HALBACH and LECONEY were taking money while allowing the poor souls to starve to death!


Eyewitness News identified the North Carolina nonprofit as Tender Mercies Pet Organization.

Tender Mercies Pet Organization has been posting pictures and updates on the dogs they got back into their custody.


A 9-year-old boy was also found to be living in the home and was removed by police due to the unhealthy conditions.


HALBACH and LECONEY are charged with animal cruelty and endangering the welfare of a child.


Police said as the investigation continues, they are working with the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office to process the scene.

Additional animal cruelty charges will be filed once the actual number of dogs can be determined, said Chief Miller.
