- Ohio, USA -
On the evening of Saturday, November 5, 2022, the Youngstown Police Department arrested 63-years-old TYRONE FIELDS (pictured), accused of hitting his dogs with a shovel.
Humane agents with the Animal Charity of Ohio responded to a home in the 300 block of Lora Avenue and found blood splattered everywhere. Officials learned that after the dogs started fighting, FIELDS hit them with a metal shovel to break up the fight.
Sadly, officers found one deceased dog. Two dogs who were seriously injured were immediately taken back to the shelter to be treated.
In a Facebook post the Animal Charity of Ohio said: “Throughout everything the dogs remained sweet and gentle while their wounds were cleaned and treated.”
The furbabies are now walking but they have a long road of recovery ahead of them.
FIELDS gave police different versions of the facts and the Animal Charity of Ohio is investigating to determine what really happened.
FIELDS first told police that two stray Pitbulls attacked two of his small dogs and killed one of them.
FIELDS then told officers that the Pitbulls were his and they attacked his small dogs so he hit them with the shovel to separate them.
As FIELDS was being questioned, officials found a dog in the closet who had two broken back legs and head trauma.
Prior to finding the furbaby in the closet, officials found one of the small dogs in a corner of the backyard covered with dirt and leaves and another dog in the house.
FIELDS was booked into the Mahoning County Jail and online arrest records show he was released after posting bond.

Sure sure, this scrum breaks up a dog fight with a shovel but they weren’t his dogs, no wait, they are his dogs, even the poor soul locked in a closet with two broken legs. This is quite the cluster****! One precious soul was killed, but thankfully all the others were removed cuz this scum does not deserve dogs! I pray they all heal both physically as well as mentally. Rest in peace to the one soul that did not make it.
