- Massachusetts, USA -
As a result of a joint investigation conducted by the Tyngsborough Police Department along with the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Law Enforcement Division, 50-years-old ADEVALTER MAJESKY (pictured), known in the Brazilian community as the Rondônia Cowboy, was arrested on a warrant from Lowell District Court for animal cruelty.
In a news release, Tyngsborough Police Chief Richard D. Howe said that on the afternoon of Monday, October 24, 2022, police responded to 32 Willowdale Road to assist the MSPCA Law Enforcement Division with an investigation into a report of an injured pony.
While the pony looked to be uninjured, MSPCA Law Enforcement Officer Tia Devallon observed a Thoroughbred mare, named Majeskana, suffering from a large laceration to her head and was struggling to stand. The Sun reports that Officer Devallon wrote in a report: “She was shaking vigorously and subtly rocking as she stood in place and continued to lift her feet up, indicating to me she was uncomfortable.” According to the report, Officer Devallon noticed more than a dozen wounds on Majeskana, including many fresh wounds that were “inflamed, red, oozing and actively bleeding.”
MAJESKY agreed to surrender Majeskana to authorities so they would be able to get her the medical care she needed.
Officer Devallon reported: “Mr. Majesky’s primary concern was not getting the horse the attention she so desperately needed, but if by voluntarily surrendering her, he would avoid getting in trouble.” According to the release, MSPCA arranged for a veterinarian, as well as an equine specialist from the MSPCA at Nevins Farm to evaluate Majeskana on site. The veterinarian determined Majeskana had “a fever of 104 degrees, toxic lining around her teeth, a large abscess on the left side of her neck of unknown origin, systematic infection and possible sepsis.” Officers Devallon’s report goes on to say that the vet “picked out” Majeskana’s front feet “at which point a large amount of blood released from her front right foot revealing her bone exposed and coming through her hoof.”
The report further stated that the vet said the condition of Majeskana’s feet “were similar to that of a human having a nail through their foot and asked to walk around on it.”
The decision was made to humanely euthanize Majeskana and her lifeless body was transported to the University of Connecticut for a necropsy.
Officials also found on the property chickens, dogs, ducks, dogs, Guineafowls, horses, and roosters. Christina Cannon, MSPCA Nevins Farm Adoption Center manager, said: “The chickens and the birds had a lot of respiratory issues.”
According to the release, “MAJESKY, who was already known to MSPCA investigators, was determined to be the owner and caretaker of the thoroughbred.” He already had several animal cruelty charges pending against him at the time of his latest arrest.
On October 26, 2022, Officer Devallon obtained a warrant for MAJESKY‘s arrest from Lowell District Court.
MAJESKY was charged with one count of animal cruelty and one count of animal cruelty by custodian. He was arraigned on Thursday, October 27, 2022, by Judge William Travaun Bailey and was held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing scheduled for the following Monday, October 31, 2022.

This degenerate is not a real Cowboy. A real cowboy would not allow his animals to suffer with sepsis. He’s a joke. I pray the authorities had the gumption to remove all the animals from this lazy arse! Rest now pretty pony. You hurt no more.
