- Florida, USA -
On June 8, 2022, Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno held a press conference to announce the arrest of 53-years-old JAMES DAYTON RUSSELL (pictured).
On Sunday, June 5, the sheriff’s office Animal Cruelty Task Force Central District Detectives and members of the Lee County Domestic Animal Services responded to a home on Morse Plaza in Fort Myers.
On the scene, they found a lifeless 1-year-old Doberman Pincher named Sinister.
Detectives learned that Sinister was left in an unattended car for over an hour and a half. The windows were up, the engine was off.
RUSSELL had gone to run errands leaving Sinister with no water, food, or ventilation.
If you have looked at the pictures before reading the story, you are probably wondering why Sinister was found out of the vehicle, laying in a pile of trash.
That’s because when RUSSELL finally decided to check on his dog, he found him dead, so he cruelly and heartlessly removed him from the car and just dumped him in a near trash pile in the front yard!
As Sheriff Marceno said: “Not once attempting to render it.”
It’s estimated that the vehicle Sinister was left in reached temperature of 130 degrees.
Sheriff Marceno said at the time of his team’s arrival, Sinister’s core temperature was over 106 degrees.
“It doesn’t take a genius to understand that this is an inhumane and disgusting thing to do to an animal”, said Sheriff Marceno.
RUSSELL was arrested on one count of aggravated animal cruelty and booked at the Lee County Jail.
Those of you who know Sheriff Marceno know that he refers to the county jail as the Marceno Motel and he rightfully said that RUSSELL has food, water, and air conditioning there, all things he deprived Sinister of!
Online arrest records show RUSSELL is no longer in custody.
His arraignment has been scheduled for July 11, 2022, at 8:30 a.m. in Lee County Circuit Court before Judge Margaret O. Steinbeck.

Yet another piece of human waste callously caused the death of a sentient being who solely relied on this monster‘s compassion of which he has zero. Sinister, you were named incorrectly, this POS is actually the sinister human, you dear baby are a Blessed Soul. RIP BABY
