- Virginia, USA -
The Bedford County Sheriff's Office said in a media release that on May 19, 2023, a citizen reported an injured and malnourished dog running at large in the area of the 3000 block of Trents Ferry Road in Lynchburg. The reporting party said that the dog’s injuries were old and untreated.
Bedford Animal Control Unit responded to the area and according to the sheriff’s office, 67-years-old CARL EDWARD JACKSON (pictured), “claimed ownership of the dog.”
From an investigation it emerged that JACKSON had other dogs.
The release goes on to say that “Due to other dogs on the property and living conditions, a search warrant for the property was obtained and executed.”
Officials found and removed eleven more dogs who were then taken to a local vet for treatment.
JACKSON was taken into custody and arraigned on animal cruelty charges on May 23, 2023.
Online arrest records show that JACKSON is being held in the Blue Ridge Regional Jail on no bond and his preliminary hearing is slated for Monday, August 21, 2023, at 1:30 p.m. at Bedford General District Court.
The sheriff’s office advises anyone who is interested in adopting one of the furvictims to contact the Bedford County Animal Shelter at 540-586-7690 or the Friends of Bedford County Animal Shelter, Inc. Thank you!
