- Wisconsin, USA -
The Janesville Police Department announced the arrest of 35-year-old TYLER ALLEN GEFFERS (pictured).
In a press release police said that on the evening of May 27, 2024, officers responded to a disorderly conduct incident occurring at a residence in the 1200 block of N. Parker Drive.
Officers learned that GEFFERS had arrived at the residence “upset.” At some point, GEFFERS picked up his brother’s dog, a 4-5-year-old Chihuahua named Tito, and threw him against a wall because he would not stop barking.
When police arrived, GEFFERS had already fled the scene.
According to police, Tito was “suffering from significant trauma.” An officer took the Voiceless Victim to an emergency vet where he sadly died from the injuries he sustained.
Police said that prior to coming to Janesville, GEFFERS had been involved in an armed incident in Illinois.
GEFFERS was later located and taken into custody in Beloit, WI, by Beloit PD and Janesville PD. He was booked into the Rock County Jail on one felony count of Mistreatment of Animals/Cause Death.
According to Rock County Circuit Court records, on May 28, 2024, GEFFERS had his first court appearance. While in custody, he appeared by video and bond was set at $1,000 with the condition to have no contact with animals.
GEFFERS is scheduled to appear at Rock County Circuit Court on June 17, 2024, at 1:00 p.m.
