- North Carolina, USA -
The Craven County Sheriff’s Office said that 50-year-old JARVIS EARL HYMAN JR (pictured), has been arrested “in a disturbing case involving felony animal cruelty, illegal possession of firearms by a felon, and possession of weapons of mass destruction. “
Court records show that HYMAN was taken into custody on February 7, 2025.
According to the press release by the sheriff’s office, several reports about HYMAN led to Animal protective Services and deputies investigating him.
The sheriff’s office did not release details of the animal cruelty charges and when I reached out to Animal Protective Services they declined to provide information.
However, the arrest warrant I was provided with, accuses HYMAN of intentionally depriving a male Pitbull named Picollo of necessary sustenance causing his death. According to the warrant, Picollo was left “for about a month without food or water.”
The warrant also accused HYMAN of intentionally depriving of necessary sustenance two female Pitbull mix named Cali and Cerco and seven Pitbull mix puppies, six males and one female. The warrant stated that Cali and Cerco were found malnourished, while the puppies were found to be suffering from anemia, low body temperature, and intestinal parasites.
Additionally, HYMAN is accused of intentionally depriving two female Pitbull mix puppies of necessary sustenance which resulted in their death.
The warrant further accuses HYMAN of failing to vaccinate Cerco and a male Pitbull named Bubba.
HYMAN was charged with felony kill animal by starvation, misdemeanor cruelty to animals, dog/cat/ferret vaccination, misdemeanor cruelty to animals, possession of firearm by felon, and possess weapon mass destruct.
Court records show that HYMAN is scheduled to appear at Craven County District Court on March 5, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. before Judge Andrew Kent Wigmore.
