DAKOTA THOMAS ALLERTON seen on video abusing a dog

- West Virginia, USA -

The Vienna Police Department arrested 30-year-old DAKOTA THOMAS ALLERTON (pictured).

ALLERTON was arrested in connection with a video circulating on social media depicting a male abusing a defenseless dog. That male was identified by police as ALLERTON.

Police did not disclose information about the dog and did not elaborate on the extent of the abuse, but said that the furvictim is “the custody of the Humane Society” and that his/her injuries do not appear to be life-threatening.

ALLERTON was charged with animal cruelty and at the time of writing online records show that he was released from the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation on parole.

I emailed Vienna Police Department Chief Mike Pifer to inquire about the dog. If I get a response, I will update the article accordingly.
