KATRINA BRAZIL accused of leaving nine dogs in the scorching heat - One adult dog and one puppy died

- Nevada, USA -


The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) arrested 47-years-old KATRINA BRAZIL (pictured) on two felony counts of willful/malicious torture of an animal and nine charges of torturing/injuring/abandoning/or starving an animal.


On the afternoon of Friday, July 14, 2023, police received several complaints from witnesses who saw dogs in two hot vehicles at Motel 6 in the 5000 block of Dean Martin Drive near Tropicana Avenue with temperatures hitting 111 degrees.


Responding officers found nine Pitbulls, two adults and seven puppies, without water or shade. Sadly, one adult dog and one puppy were found deceased. The adult dog was found in the backseat of a pickup truck and the puppy was in the backseat of BRAZIL’s car.

According to the report, BRAZIL left the dogs in the vehicles for at least thirty (30) minutes.


KLAS reports that according to documents, BRAZIL told police she and her boyfriend had bred the dogs and were trying to sell them. Reportedly, the pair got evicted two days earlier, were staying at the motel for two nights, and left the Pitbulls in two vehicles. BRAZIL said she and her boyfriend were going to take the dogs to a friend’s home but the boyfriend was in jail and she was waiting for him to be released.


According to KSNV, BRAZIL explained to investigators that she put four of the nine dogs in her boyfriend’s truck and the other five in the backseat of her Chevy Malibu. BRAZIL first claimed that the A/C was running in both vehicles but later admitted that she wasn’t sure whether the A/C was working properly inside the truck. Moreover, BRAZIL admitted the backseat floorboard where her dog, named Cash, was found dead was “extremely hot.”


The live furbabies were rescued and seized by Animal Control. BRAZIL said she did not know the names of the other eight dogs.


On Saturday at her bond hearing BRAZIL was granted bail and according to KSNV she was released ”under medium-level electronic monitoring and is ordered to stay out of trouble and have no possession or contact with animals.”


BRAZIL’s arraignment was scheduled for Tuesday, July 18, 2023, but she did not show up for medical reasons and the arraignment has been rescheduled for Thursday, July 20, 2023.

DENNIS MARK GLENN found guilty of animal cruelty for beating his defenseless dog

- Nevada, USA -


A Washoe County jury found 29-years-old DENNIS MARK GLENN (pictured), guilty of misdemeanor animal cruelty in connection to the beating of his dog in April 2022.


Back in April, officers with the Reno Police Department were called to First Street in downtown Reno near the Truckee River about a fight in progress.

Officers learned the fight started after a passerby saw GLENN beating his dog, a 2-year-old Pitbull named Abando.


Police reviewed surveillance footage and GLENN could be seen punching Abando multiple times before picking him up, throwing him across the street onto the concrete sidewalk and again punching him multiple times.

Police said Abando did not show any aggression.


Following the incident, GLENN was arrested on the animal abuse charge and the Washoe County District Attorney’s Office charged him with one felony count of willfully or maliciously torturing, maiming, mutilating or killing a dog or cat.


A jury ultimately convicted GLENN of a lesser count of misdemeanor animal cruelty.

During the trial, prosecutors argued that GLENN’s “actions were malicious and clearly not appropriate discipline.” In a separate civil action, the Reno Justice Court found that GLENN “was unfit and terminated his ownership interest in Abando. Following that hearing, Washoe County Regional Animal Services placed Abando in a new home where officials say he is thriving today,” according to News 4 & Fox 11.


Sentencing is scheduled for March 30, 2023, before Judge Barry Breslow. GLENN faces up to ONLY six months in jail.

JON PRESTON HICKOX arrested – One dead horse, neglected live horses and dogs found on his property

- Nevada, USA -


Following an investigation that the Elko County Sheriff’s Office launched on December 8, 2022, deputies have arrested 42-years-old JON PRESTON HICKOX (pictured), of Ryndon.


According to a news release by the sheriff’s office, anonymous reports alerted deputies to six horses on HICKOX’s property who were being neglected. When deputies responded to the property, they learned that one of the horses was sadly deceased and the others “were in extremely poor condition due to not having food or water for an extended period of time”.


Two horses were in such poor condition that a veterinarian had to euthanize them. Three other horses are currently being cared for by the Elko County Sheriff’s Office staff and are receiving veterinary care.


On HICKOX’s property deputies also discovered and removed three dogs who were found in small wire kennels covered with feces. The kennels did not have any food or water for the dogs.


HICKOX was arrested on January 4, 2023, and charged with nine counts of torturing, injuring, or abandonment of animals. Online records show that is out free after posing bond.
