At around 3:30 a.m., Friday, September 29, 2023, deputies with the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a residence in the 1100 block of Greymont Boulevard in Moundville, after receiving a call about a man who had been stabbed.


According to the press release by the sheriff’s office obtained by Voice For Us, upon arrival deputies learned that 29-years-old NICHOLAS JERISAAC LYNCH (pictured) had broken into his ex-girlfriend’s home. When it happened, the woman, her dog, her two children under the age of 12, and her current boyfriend were home.


The woman told deputies that LYNCH parked his car and forced his way in. During the altercation, LYNCH stabbed the woman’s boyfriend several times. He then proceeded to kill the woman’s dog and assault her children.


When deputies arrived, LYNCH had already fled the scene and the two adults had left the home. As deputies cleared the residence, they found the deceased dog and the children hiding in separate places.


According to the release, “A perimeter was set up and deputies utilized canine and arial drone assets, as well as sending an IPAWS (Emergency Phone Alert) to the surrounding area. The Drone Unit was able to locate the suspect hiding in a wooded area, and deputies and investigators converged and took him into custody.”


LYNCH is charged with Aggravated Animal Cruelty among other charges.

Online arrest records show that LYNCH is being held into the Tuscaloosa County without bond.


The sheriff’s office did not disclose additional information about the dog.

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

The Tuscaloosa Police Department announced that 23-years-old BLANE AUSTIN COLBURN (pictured) began his 90-day jail sentence in the Tuscaloosa County jail.


The sentence concludes an animal cruelty case which goes back to July 2020, when a disturbing video posted on Facebook showed COLBURN dumping three puppies from a crate and throwing two of them against a bathroom wall.


The community helped with the investigation by identifying COLBURN who then turned himself in.


The VOCELESS VICTIMS were examined by a veterinarian who found one of them suffered bruised ribs. All the furbabies made a full recovery.


After his release in November 2022, COLBURN will be placed on probation for three years.


While I find this sentence to be extremely light and ridiculous, Tuscaloosa Police wrote in a Facebook post: “We’re grateful for the attorneys with the Tuscaloosa County District Attorney's Office who take these cases seriously, ensuring jail time for offenders who harm animals.”

The Tuscaloosa Police Department announced in a Facebook post that 21-year-old BLANE AUSTIN COLBURN (pictured), turned himself in at the Tuscaloosa County Jail on Tuesday afternoon, July 21.


COLBURN was wanted by the police after a video that circulated online was also reported to the authorities.


The distressing video shows a male callously dumping three young dogs from a crate and throwing two of them against a wall.


Investigators have charged COLBURN with first-degree animal abuse.

According to jail records, the accused has since been released on a $10,000 bail.


All three furbabies were examined by a veterinarian. One of them was found to have suffered from minor injuries. All these innocent souls are expected to make a full recovery.


The Department wrote in a Facebook post: “TPD Investigator Curvin and the Criminal Investigations Division worked tirelessly on this case since it was reported Saturday morning, and brought it to a successful conclusion with an overwhelming amount of assistance of the public.”
