ANTONIO ROSS arrested after one dog was found dead and another in poor health

- Illinois, USA -


The Joliet Police Department arrested 52-year-old ANTONIO ROSS (pictured).


According to the Department’s press release obtained by Voice For Us, on the early afternoon of November 11, 2024, officers were dispatched to a residence in the 300 block of Baker Avenue to conduct a welfare check on two dogs on the property.


In the backyard of the residence, officers found two dogs who were chained up. One of the two dogs was sadly deceased.

Police told me the deceased furvictim was a 10-year-old black Yorkie mix named George.

The live dog, whom police told me is a 1 ½-year-old tan Pitbull mix named Illinois, was in “very poor health”.


Joliet Township Animal Control took possession of both dogs.


Police said ROSS “claimed ownership of both dogs” and he was placed under arrest.

ROSS was charged with cruel treatment of animals and released on a notice to appear in Will County Courthouse to face his charges.


In my email to the Joliet Police Department I asked whether the cause of death of the deceased dog was known and I was told that a necropsy will be performed.


My question regarding Illinois’ wellbeing did not receive a response.


The case remains under investigation and no additional information is available.
