The Muskogee County Sheriff's Office arrested 36-years-old LINDSEY RAE BRASHEAR (pictured) and 31-years-old KASEY WAYNE CLAY as part of an investigation into an animal cruelty and neglect case.


On June 1, 2023, the owner of a 50-acre plot at 2300 South of 114th Street West went to the property to tell the occupants, BRASHEAR and CLAY, they could no longer live there. He noticed several dead cows and alerted the Muskogee County Sheriff's Office.

According to the sheriff's office's press release, the owner of the property “had a verbal lease agreement with the occupants.”


Responding deputies executed a search warrant which led to the discovery of “approximately 104 animal carcasses (103 cattle, 1 dog)”, stated the release. Deputies also recovered a stolen Kubota tractor.


Muskogee County Sheriff Andy Simmons told 2 News: “No grass on the property that was edible. No grazing areas for the cattle. You could tell down on the south end that they were pushing the fence over trying to get to this lush, green grass over in the other field.”


The sheriff also told News On 6 that there was no running water or electricity.


The veterinarian that was called in had to sadly euthanize a calf who was then taken to Oklahoma State University in Stillwater to determine the cause of death.


With the assistance of the City of Muskogee, deputies removed approximately forty (40) cows, seven (7) dogs, and four (4) horses. The City of Muskogee impounded the dogs who were found to be malnourished and tied up in pens. “The food bowls had cobwebs in them. The water bowls had black water in them. So, nothing was being taken care of,” Sheriff Simmons told News On 6. He also said that three of the cows might not make it.


Sheriff Simmons explained to 2 News that “the hills and trees shielding the view of the home's private drive meant no neighboring ranchers could spot anything wrong.”


According to the press release, “Muskogee County Commissioner Kenny Payne and his crew are still in the process of burying the carcasses.”


BRASHEAR was interviewed on site and immediately placed under arrest. She was transported to Muskogee County Jail on animal cruelty charges.


CLAY was arrested the following day, Friday, June 2, 2023.

Online arrest records show, at the time of writing, that they are still in custody.


Sheriff Simmons said the investigation is ongoing.

The Irvine Police Department said that on Saturday, May 27, 2023, it received a call from a concerned citizen about dogs whimpering on the patio of a home on Eastshore.


In a news release, IPD said that the caller told police they saw “multiple dogs with their snouts taped closed.”


When IPD Animal Services Officers responded to the scene, they found “one dog with masking tape wrapped around its snout while it was on the outside patio. They also heard whimpering from the same area and were concerned there were other dogs in the same condition.”


21-years-old GABRIELA BARRERA (pictured) arrived while officers were on the scene investigating the incident. According to police, BARRERA “admitted to taping the dogs’ snouts closed to keep them from barking and nipping at the other dogs.”


The release goes on to say that a consent search of the property led to the discovery of a total of seven dogs who appeared to be “Husky or Husky/German Shepherd mixed breed.”

Police said officers found a female puppy, a male puppy, three adult females, and two adult males. Three of the Voiceless Victims with their snouts taped closed were BARRERA’s.


Police estimated that the tape had been around the furvictims’ snouts for over two hours. Officers also found contractor grade masking tape consistent with the one used to tape the poor souls.


BARRERA was arrested on May 30, 2023, and transported to Orange County Jail on three counts of felony animal cruelty.

Online arrest records show that she was released the following date on zero bail!

According to online records, BARRERA’s occupation is a “caregiver.”

Police said all seven furbabies were removed from the property, examined by a veterinarian, “and appear to be in otherwise good condition.”

Police advised that the investigation is ongoing and the dogs will be held until the case is adjudicated.


If you have any other information related to this incident, please contact Animal Services Officer Al Gonzalez at (949) - 724 - 7087. Thank you!


I wonder if as a little girl, BARRERA used to have her mouth taped shut because her mother wanted to stop her from crying….

~ Update: May 31, 2023:


The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office tells me that Blondie was a Pitbull mix.


I also learned that WARREN “did not show up for his first appearance in court yesterday, and so an order for arrest has been issued for him.”




~ Original story:


The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office announced the arrest of 51-years-old ELSON DITREZ WARREN (pictured) for the murder of his dog named Blondie.


On May 7, 2023, the Winston-Salem Police Department received a call about a domestic incident between a man and a woman at a home on Petree Road. Police officers then contacted the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office Animal Services Division (ASD) for assistance with a suspected case of animal cruelty.


When ASD officers arrived at the scene, they found WARREN covered in blood and Blondie’s lifeless body lying on the back porch.


In a press release, the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office said, “Multiple areas on the back porch were blood stained, and when the man was asked about the blood on him, he responded that it was his own blood.”


According to the release, the woman on scene stated she had not seen WARREN “harming Blondie during the domestic incident.”

Multiple eyewitnesses, however, gave officers a different version of the facts and stated that they saw WARREN “not only yelling at Blondie but also beating her against the railing of the back porch.”


The release goes on to say that WARREN denied any involvement in Blondie’s death and asked deputies to find her killer.


Blondie’s body was seized by the Deputies and taken to the State laboratory for a necropsy to determine the official cause of her death.

As stated in the release, results showed that “Blondie died of severe blunt force trauma with numerous traumatic injuries to her back and spinal cord, as well as multiple fractures to her head, face, and jaw. Other significant findings included rib fractures with pulmonary lacerations, with hemorrhaging and lacerations to the liver.”

On May 26, 2023, WARREN was arrested and charged with one felony count of animal cruelty.


According to the sheriff’s office, WARREN appeared before the magistrate where he received a secured bond of $2,500. His preliminary court date was set for the morning of Tuesday, May 30, 2023, at the Forsyth County Hall of Justice. I was not able to find his court records but I will send out a few emails to learn the outcome.


Had Blondie been a person, WARREN would be facing murder charges!

Lawmakers need to be aware that the problem is right there, in the names of the offenses and the way they are handled and tried.

If the same offense is perpetrated on a person or an animal, the legal consequences should be exactly the same!

WARREN savagely beat a defenseless living being and as far as I am concerned, individuals like him should not even be entitled to be defended in a court of law. After their arrest they should be thrown and slammed in a dark cell without water, food or a bed and wait for their useless, pathetic, and insignificant life to expire!!!!
