TOMMY DEAN DOUGLAS arrested after an iguana and thirty-three dogs removed from a home in Tate County

- Mississippi, USA -

 

On July 13, 2024, the Tate County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant at a home in the 2000 block of Prichard Road in Arkabutla as part of an ongoing animal cruelty investigation.

 

From the home, sheriff’s office officials removed a large iguana and thirty-three (33) dogs.

The dogs, most of them American and French Bulldogs were placed at the Senatobia-Tate County Animal Shelter and are being examined by veterinarians.

 

Tate County Sheriff Luke Shepherd told Action News 5, “Some of the dogs were severely malnourished and on the brink of death. It was a really sad situation.”

 

In connection with this case, deputies arrested TOMMY DEAN DOUGLAS (pictured), also known as Tommy Real Dogman Douglas on Facebook.

 

Sheriff Shepherd explained that DOUGLAS promised to train or breed the dogs and that he used social media to find customers. According to investigators, some of the dogs “belong to out-of-state owners.”

 

Detective Riley Cole said: “The suspect would come to their homes and bring their dogs back here, but those owners were not aware of the conditions they were in. They thought they were doing good for their animal in the dog community, and that was not the case.”

 

DOUGLAS was charged with aggravated animal cruelty, simple assault on a law enforcement officer, and disorderly conduct – disobeying a lawful order. He punched one of the deputies in the face during his arrest.

DOUGLAS is being held at the Tate County Jail on a $50,000 bond.

 

On Monday, the Senatobia-Tate County Animal Shelter issued an emergency alert on their Facebook page saying the shelter is currently unable to accept dogs due to the influx of animals. If you wish to help the shelter face this hardship, please click here. Thank you!

WILLIAM CHAZ COBB arrested after three dogs were left to die in an abandoned U-Haul

- Massachusetts, USA -

 

The Boston Police Department arrested 33-year-old WILLIAM CHAZ COBB (pictured).

 

Police said that on the evening of July 9, 2024, officers responded to the area of 69 Edgewater Drive after receiving a call about a moving van that had been abandoned for weeks and a foul smell coming from it.  

 

According to the Department’s press release, upon arrival, officers located a U-Haul with a terrible smell coming from it. When officers opened the van, they discovered the bodies of three dogs and bugs.

Animal Control was called in to remove the deceased dogs and the responding ACO said the dogs were “bloated” in the sweltering van. The ACO noted temperatures in Boston climbed 90 degrees that week.

 

According to the police report, authorities responded to the same vehicle on July 2, 2024, and found six dogs inside the running van.

 

As a result of the investigation into the incident, Dorchester District Court issued a warrant for COBB’s arrest for three counts of animal cruelty.

 

Members of the Boston Police Youth Violence Strike Force and the Massachusetts State Police Gang Unit located COBB on July 12, 2024, in the area of 148 Mediterranean Drive. COBB was taken into custody and booked into Suffolk County Jail. He later appeared in Dorchester District Court and pleaded not guilty to the charges.

 

COBB is expected back in Court in September 2024.

JOEBOURY COLEMAN seen on video kicking and throwing a puppy from a multi-story stairway

Updated: Jul 15

- California, USA -

 

The Los Angeles Police Department’s Rampart detectives have announced the arrest of 27-year-old JOEBOURY COLEMAN.

 

In a press release, police said that on the afternoon of Sunday, July 7, 2024, Rampart Patrol Officers responded to the 4000 block of Oakwood Avenue in the city’s Koreatown neighborhood, after concerned citizens advised about videos posted on social media showing a dog being abused.

 

According to the information provided by the reporting citizens, in the videos, a shirtless male could be seen grabbing a dog by the neck before the furvictim was kicked and thrown from a multi-story stairway.

 

Officers were able to locate the furvictim, a female 7-month-old puppy, in COLEMAN’s apartment.

Police took the puppy to a local animal shelter for medical treatment and she is now being treated for a broken hind leg, consistent with a fall, and for poor nutrition. Surgery may be necessary to repair the leg.

 

COLEMAN was placed under arrest and booked into the Los Angeles County Jail on two felony counts of cruelty to an animal.

 

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office tells me that COLEMAN was arraigned on July 9, 2024, and pled not guilty to the charges.

After his arraignment, two additional counts of animal cruelty were added to the case, and for those two charges COLEMAN will be arraigned on July 22, 2024. So, he is now facing a total of four charges.

 

COLEMAN is also accused of failing to provide care for a cat named Medusa and the co-defendant in that complaint is 22-year-old SHAYLA STARR ALCALA.

On July 12, 2024, ALCALA was arraigned and pled not guilty to two counts of cruelty to an animal. She will be back in court on July 22, 2024.

 

At the time of writing, I have not heard back from the LAPD regarding the furvictims’ wellbeing. If I get a response, I will update the article accordingly.
