WILLIAM TYLER FARNSWORTH accused of murdering a puppy for having accidents during potty training

- New Hampshire, USA -

On the late night of December 18, 2022, a woman went to the Manchester Police Department to report that her boyfriend, 29-years-old WILLIAM TYLER FARNSWORTH (pictured), had killed their 5-month-old puppy at their apartment on Hanover Street, Manchester.

The arrest affidavit obtained by Voice For Us, identifies the woman as C.D.

C.D. told Officer Vignault that two months earlier, she and FARNSWORTH had bought a red/blue nosed Pitbull puppy, named Duke, for $300 and that they split the cost equally.

C.D. explained that she and FARNSWORTH “were in the process of trying to potty train Duke but he was having accidents on a regular basis.” C.D. said that the accidents made FARNSWORTH “very upset and that he would regularly lose his temper and he would hit, stomp, kick, and pin Duke against the wall after he had accidents.”

C.D. claimed she had to tell FARNSWORTH to stop, “but he would excuse his behavior as him trying to discipline the dog to correct his behavior.”

C.D. went on to say that the day before, at roughly 5:00 a.m. she woke up to a sound coming from the kitchen but she could not quite describe the noise. When she entered the kitchen, she witnessed FRANSWORTH “kneeling on Duke's neck/shoulder as Duke laid on his bed as he was cleaning up an accident that Duke had that morning.”

Officer Vignault asked C.D. if it would be accurate to describe the noise Duke was making as muffled crying or choking and she said yes.

C.D. said that she yelled at FARNSWORTH to stop and walked back to the living room. Shortly after, she heard FANSWORTH start “freaking out”. C.D. said when she went back into the kitchen, she saw FARNSWORTH attempting to perform CPR on Duke and yelled “I am sorry, I didn't mean to kill him.”

According to the affidavit, C.D. told FRANSWORTH that he needed to take Duke to the vet and that FRANSWORTH was continuing to panic over killing him.

C.D. explained to Officer Vignault that she couldn’t take Duke to vet because three juvenile children were asleep, and that she did not want to wake them up and traumatize them with the death of Duke.

C.D. said FARNSWORTH was eventually able to regain his composure and got ready to take Duke to the 24-Hour Emergency Vet on 2743 Brown Avenue in Manchester.

C.D. said she saw FARSNSWORTH putting Duke into a black trash bag and when she asked him what he was doing, he told her that he could not look at him. C.D. told FRANSWORTH to take Duke out of the trash bag and put him on his dog bed.

After FARNSWORTH left the apartment, sometime between 7:00 a.m. and 7:30 a.m., he called C.D. and asked her if she was going to call the police and he made her tell him she wouldn’t.

According to the affidavit, when FARNSWORTH returned to the apartment, he told C.D. that the vet tried to perform CPR on Duke, but he was dead and they were going to cremate him.

Officer Vignault followed up with the Emergency Vet Center and asked staff if they had any records of Duke coming in and they said no.

Officer Vignault also checked the area around the facility in an attempt to find Duke's body but results were unsuccessful.

Animal Control Officer Kayla Tremblay also stepped in and followed up with the Emergency Vet Center and staff confirmed there were no records of Duke’s admittance. ACO Tremblay searched the area again but Duke’s body was nowhere to be found.

On December 20, 2022, an investigator was able to speak with FARNSWORTH over the phone and invited FARNSWORTH to come in for an interview. FARNSWORTH requested to be called back. About twenty minutes later, the investigator received a telephone from an attorney representing FARNSWORTH to advise that FARNSWORTH did not wish to speak with the investigator any further.

Based on the information obtained by the officer investigating the case, there was probable cause to file charges against FARNSWORTH.

Police then took to social media to seek assistance from the community in locating FARNSWORTH wanted for Felony - Animal Cruelty, Witness Tampering, and Falsifying Evidence.

On the early morning of February 17, 2023, acting on a tip, police located FARNSWORTH and took him into custody.

According to an update posted on Facebook, police said that FARNSWORTH was also found to have suspected heroin/fentanyl on him at the time of the arrest and was charged with two counts of Possession of a Controlled Drug.

FARNSWORTH was scheduled to be arraigned in Hillsborough Superior Court North on February 17, 2023.

I have emailed Hillsborough Superior Court to inquire about the case and I was told that it is currently in a pending status, scheduled for a Dispositional Conference on April 12, 2023.

From my understanding, C.D. contributed to Duke’s senseless and preventable death!

It is my personal opinion that she could have reported FARNSWORTH after the very first abusive behavior, but instead she simply told him to stop and walked out of the kitchen after witnessing the filthy murderer kneeling on a tiny puppy!

BLAYNE MICHAEL PEREZ accused of shooting a cat, killing animals and nailing them to his shed

- Washington, USA -

WARNING – The story contains details some may find distressing!

On Wednesday, March 8, 2023, Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson announced that eight felony charges have been filed against 34-years-old BLAYNE MICHAEL PEREZ, of Everett, in Snohomish County Superior Court. The charges include seven charges of first-degree animal cruelty and one charge of first-degree malicious mischief.

PEREZ is accused of shooting and killing birds and squirrels on his property, nailing their carcasses to his shed, and shooting a neighbor's cat.

In a press release, Ferguson explained that the criminal charges stem from a report that a resident filed with the Everett Police Department on January 19, 2022, about her neighbor who for two weeks had repeatedly shot birds and squirrels and then displayed the dead animals around his property on 2443 Columbia Avenue in Everett. According to a probable cause affidavit, the resident provided police with “photos of the suspect pointing a long gun into the sky and trees, and of dead crows and squirrels gruesomely nailed or screwed into the back of a shed” on his property. She further reported that some of the birds were still alive after being shot, before the suspect then shoved sticks down their throats to display them.

On February 5, 2022, Officer Barabasz with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), in his plain-clothes walk by the area and saw PEREZ “pointing his long gun into the sky and shooting at birds.” “Officer Barabasz heard a popping sound consistent with that of an air rifle as several crows responded by cawing and chittering excitedly”, stated the affidavit.

Officer Barabasz took pictures of PEREZ “walking slowly with his long gun pointed skyward.”

When on February 18, 2022, Everett Police and WDFW officers served a search warrant on PEREZ’s residence he was not home. Officers found and photographed numerous dead wildlife, including, crows, squirrels, and multiple species of songbirds in various gruesome displays.

According to the affidavit, some of the birds were screwed to the back wall of PEREZ’s shed, with their wings splayed open. “Small songbirds were impaled on barbecue skewers and sticks.”

The affidavit goes on to say that a “deceased Steller’s jay appeared to have been used as live bait in a box trap in the yard, with another bird impaled on a stick tied to the trap. A wrench found on the back deck of Perez's residence had blood and feathers stuck to it, consistent with being used to inflict blunt force trauma on birds. Similarly, a golf club was used to impale another crow to the roof of the shed.”

From PEREZ’s residence, officers removed two air rifles and more than a dozen deceased animals, except for those animals in advanced stages of decay.

The affidavit detailed the conditions the voiceless victims were found in and stated that “Some of the 8 crows removed had been impaled, screwed, or nailed to the shed or other surfaces in the backyard. Four small songbirds were removed, including chickadees and a junco. Two chickadees were impaled on the twin tines of a barbecue skewer. A squirrel had been nailed through its skull to the back wall of the shed, with the rest of its body hanging below. One crow was nailed to a log with its wings splayed open, and another crow next to it had its head removed.”

One of the WDFW officers described PEREZ’s residence as the most disturbing and grotesque scene that he had encountered in his entire career.

Meanwhile, WDFW Officer Stephanie Tank called PEREZ and left him a message on his voicemail. When PEREZ called Officer Tank back, he told her that he considered the birds and wildlife to be pests that were “fucking up my shit.” PEREZ also told her that he started shooting the birds around the big snowfall in December 2021. However, the photos that the resident provided to Everett Police in January 2022, did not show any snow on the ground, and that made the timeline consistent with January 5th onward.

PEREZ went on to tell Officer Tank that the reason for displaying the birds and dead animals was a deterrent to any remaining birds, similar to a scarecrow. He denied any of the birds were alive after he shot them.

In April of 2022, officers were alerted to a dead squirrel impaled through his/her skull to a tree at the entrance of Interurban Trail in Everett and upon inspection, they recognized the manner of display as very similar to those impaled on PEREZ’s shed. When they went to PEREZ’s home to question him about the squirrel, they were met by multiple neighbors who said that PEREZ had continued to shoot and kill animals. Some residents even said they had to remove their bird feeders to avoid PEREZ turning their yards into a killing field.

Meanwhile, the U.S. National Fish and Wildlife Forensics Laboratory performed necropsies on fourteen of the animals removed from PEREZ’s residence.

The veterinary pathologist determined that the cause of deaths was a mixture of fatal and non-fatal injuries.

On August 17, 2022, Everett police received a report of a man shooting at squirrels and dismembering them with a knife in Lowell Riverfront Park. As an officer was making their way to the park, they saw an older white Subaru station wagon go by with an animal pelt attached to the roof above the driver's door. Based on witness descriptions, police determined that the suspect in the park matched PEREZ and when they contacted him, he admitted to shooting at squirrels and skinning a rabbit.

On the morning of September 25, 2022, Sean and Sarah Moore were gardening and drinking coffee in their yard while their 8-month-old cat named Hades was playing on the other side of the fence near the street. At one point, Mr. Moore saw an older white Subaru station wagon that slowly pulled up the street and immediately heard a popping noise. After the noise, the couple saw Hades frantically climbing the fence, crying in pain and bleeding from an apparent eye injury. Mrs. Moore yelled at the driver as the Subaru first drove away, then circled the block before fleeing the area. Sarah observed part of the license plate, which matched the one registered to PEREZ’s address.

When police took Mr. and Mrs. Moore to PEREZ’s residence, they both positively identified the Subaru as the one present when Hades was shot. Furthermore, videos obtained from their neighbor's security cameras also confirmed that PEREZ’s vehicle was the one involved in the shooting of Hades. PEREZ can be seen driving the Subaru in one of the related security camera videos.

Officers also saw air gun pellets on the front driver and passenger seats of the car. They then knocked on PEREZ’s door multiple times, but no one responded. Later that day, police contacted PEREZ at his residence and he denied shooting Hades claiming he was in Lynnwood at the time.

Police FINALLY placed PEREZ under arrest and as he was being cuffed, he said: “Since we already got me lying, can I stand here and tell you the truth in front of my girlfriend?”

After officers read PEREZ his Miranda rights, he said understood those rights, but wished to waive them and speak to the officers. PEREZ then admitted to driving around the neighborhood slowly and shooting at birds and various wild animals but denied knowingly shooting a cat.

As for Hades’ condition, as you can imagine the furbaby suffered extensive injuries. Hades’ retina was damaged beyond repair, necessitating surgery to remove his eye. Metal fragments were surgically removed, including below his right ear. His right mandible was fractured, extending to the temporal mandibular joint. Hades’ veterinary care and medical bills resulted in costing more than $13,000.

Don’t bother wondering on what bond PEREZ is being held because according to HeraldNet, “In court papers, prosecutors did not object to Perez remaining out of custody, with the condition he stay away from any animals while the case is pending.”

PEREZ’s arraignment is scheduled to take place on March 27, 2023.

In the press release, Ferguson said that under state law and the Washington State Constitution, the Attorney General’s Office does not have authority to initiate criminal investigations, unless it receives and accepts a referral from a county prosecutor or the governor. The Attorney General’s Office accepted a referral from the Snohomish County Prosecuting Attorney in this case.

The press release contains the affidavit of probable cause filed with the court in its entirety.

ALLISON LEAH CHRISTIAN arrested after she let a service dog die trapped in a hot vehicle for revenge

- Florida, USA -

The Collier County Sheriff’s Office said that 45-years-old ALLISON LEAH CHRISTIAN (pictured) stole a dog from the woman she suspected was sleeping with her boyfriend, locked him in a car and left him to die.

On March 2, 2023, CHRISTIAN got into a fight with her boyfriend after finding him inside an RV with another woman. Inside the RV, was also the woman’s dog, Tucker, an approximately 3-year-old male Labrador mix who was registered as a service dog.

During the fight between CHRISTIAN and her boyfriend, Tucker ran out of the RV and into a nearby parked car. At that point, CHRISTIAN intentionally shut Tucker in the car and left the area. Tucker sweltered inside the locked vehicle with the doors and windows closed in 83-degree heat.

Tucker’s guardian and CHRISTIAN’s boyfriend looked for Tucker but could not find him until the afternoon, when at about 5:30, CHRISTIAN’s boyfriend found the furbaby already lifeless.

The Collier County Sheriff’s Office was called and according to the Booking Sheet, Deputy Sheriff and Detective Megan Noel responded to a home on 857 103rd Avenue in North Naples.

Noel reported that Tucker was stiff. Inside the vehicle she found claw marks, feces and blood. She also observed “obvious signs of struggle” as well as several smear marks from Tucker's mouth and nasal area on all the windows.

As stated in the Booking Sheet, CHRISTAIN “had custody and control of the animal and failed to act, resulting in the animal’s cruel death. This caused repeated infliction of unnecessary pain and suffering to the animal.”

CHRISTIAN was arrested on March 2, 2023, and charged with aggravated animal cruelty.

Court records show that she is due back in court on March 27, 2023.

Noel further reported that CHRISTIAN is a convicted felon and that “There is a history of domestic violence-related calls at this residence. The suspect has several cases with CCSO and Domestic Animal Services in which dogs were removed from her care in custody in the past.”
