DEVONE EDWARDS TOLBERT arrested - Five dogs found dead in a Henry County home he was renting

- Alabama, USA -

 

The Henry County Sheriff’s Office arrested 26-year-old DEVONE EDWARDS TOLBERT (pictured).

 

Henry County Sheriff Eric Blankenship said that on July 14, 2024, deputies were called to a home off of Highway 431 north of Abbeville. TOLBERT had been renting the home and had five dogs. After he left, the landowners went to the residence to clean it and discovered five deceased dogs in various stages of decomposition.

 

According to Sheriff Blankenship, deputies had already been at the same property in mid-June 2024, after receiving reports about the dogs being malnourished. Sadly, the dogs were not taken away and TOLBERT was simply told to take better care of his dogs.  

 

TOLBERT was arrested on July 17, 2024, and charged with five felony counts of aggravated animal cruelty and bond was set at $75,000.

He was released from the Henry County Jail after posting $15,000 for each count.

 

Dogs do NOT get emaciated overnight. If they were found dead in July, they were already emaciated in June and should have been taken away then! So many scum are responsible for the PREVENTABLE death of these innocent souls!

The author of Voice for Us is once again right stating that dogs do not become emaciated overnight. This takes time. It evidently was not of concern to Sheriff Blankenship & his deputies that these helpless souls were on the brink of death. I suppose it just wasn’t their job to have any empathy or even give a damn & help these dying souls. I hope Karma comes to them all when they are helpless & She reminds them of their emptiness. Shame on them for being these precious souls last chance & they callously walked away. Damn them all. Rest now innocent souls, you were failed in this life but you’ll suffer no more.
