- Alabama, USA -
~ Update: September 8, 2022
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.”

There’s that effing mugshot smirk! You are an evil little male BLANE AUSTIN COLBURN who abuses puppies due to your own inadequacies! I truly hope your measly 90 day jail term is harsher than the bullying crap you forced on those three wee souls. Never should you be allowed in the presence of animals ever! Pathetic loser! Please stay safe three wee souls.
