- Virginia, USA -
On September 27, 2024, the Lynchburg Police Department’s Animal Control Unit responded to a residence in the 1500 Block of Bedford Avenue to investigate a call regarding a deceased dog in the backyard of the residence.
Responding officers found the deceased dog and subsequently applied for a search warrant to conduct a thorough investigation of the property.
Upon execution of the search warrant, the deceased dog was removed and a necropsy was performed to determine the cause of death. According to the media release by the Lynchburg Police Department results “provided critical evidence in the case” but did not elaborate on that.
As a result of the investigation, on October 11, 2024, police arrested 28-year-old QUENTIN GAJUAN CALHOUN-POPE (pictured).
CALHOUN-POPE was charged with felony animal cruelty and booked into the Blue Ridge Regional Jail.
At the time of writing, online records show that CALHOUN-POPE was released after posting bond.
Police did not disclose additional information about the furvictim, so I emailed them to learn more. In an email, I was told: “Currently, it's still an active and ongoing criminal investigation, and we are unable to provide details beyond what we have shared in the original news release.”
Lynchburg Police ask anyone who has information about this incident to contact the department at (434) - 455 - 6050, or Crime Stoppers at (888) - 798 - 5900. Thank you!
I took the liberty of naming the furvictim Sprinkles for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.
