GAGE JOEL SKINNER arrested for abusing a young puppy

- Mississippi, USA -

 

The Jackson County Sheriff's Office arrested 26-years-old old GAGE JOEL SKINNER (pictured), of Escatawpa.

 

Jackson County Sheriff John Ledbetter said in a press release obtained by Voice For Us that acting on a tip submitted to MS Coast Crime Stoppers, investigators served a search warrant at SKINNER’s home on the afternoon of Tuesday, April 23, 2024.

 

Sheriff Ledbetter said that upon arrival, deputies found evidence that a young puppy was being abused by SKINNER. 

 

An officer with Jackson County Animal Control removed the puppy and took him/her to the shelter.

The sheriff’s office tells me the puppy is a Pitbull, about 8-10 weeks old.

Thankfully, the furvictim did not sustain any serious injuries.

 

SKINNER was placed under arrest and is facing felony aggravated animal cruelty charges.


Jackson County Court Judge Mark Watts has denied bond for SKINNER “pending a mental evaluation”, stated the release.

 

At the time of writing, records show SKINNER is being held at the Jackson County Adult Detention Center.

TIMORRA INSHALLA ROGO arrested for the death of her dog who was found in the Chattahoochee River

- Georgia, USA -

 

The Cobb County Police Department arrested 31-years-old TIMORRA INSHALLA ROGO (pictured).

 

ROGO is accused of drowning her own dog who was found in the Chattahoochee River.

 

Mr. Stephen Hammond, Director of Cobb County Animal Services, tells me that the furvictim was discovered on July 11, 2023, “in the river near the boat ramp at Paces Mill Park by park workers.” Mr. Hammond explained that “...The river had been shut down due to contamination for about 10 days prior.”

 

He identified the furvictim as a 2-year-old male English Bulldog named Hodor.

 

Hodor was placed in a cage along with rocks with the evil intention of drowning the helpless soul. Mr. Hammond said: “Two rocks weighing about 8 pounds had been used to weigh down the cage.” Upon finding the cage, park workers alerted Animal Services and Hodor “was impounded as evidence.”

 

Hodor’s body was then sent to UGA for a necropsy. It took a while for the report to come back because there are so many animal cruelty cases that sadly have horrible endings. Results showed that Hodor died from drowning.

 

“Detective Whitley, our Animal Cruelty Investigator from the Cobb County Police Department took over the case and through his investigation was able to identify and locate the owner and perpetrator”, further explained Mr. Hammond.

 

ROGO was arrested on the late evening of April 18, 2024, and charged with felony aggravated cruelty to animals. At the time of writing, records show that ROGO is being held at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center. A Cobb County Judge denied bond.

 

Mr. Hammonds did not send me Hodor’s pictures as they are “too graphic to share.”

Valley Center High School varsity baseball season suspended due to an animal cruelty investigation

Updated: Apr 24

- Kansas, USA -

 

~ Update: April 24, 2024

 

Following a press release by the Valley Center Police Department and obtained by Voice For Us, I learned the following:

 

“On April 22, 2024, a Valley Center School Resource Officer was approached by a Valley Center High School employee and advised that an allegation was made claiming the Valley Center Varsity Boys Baseball Team had killed a chicken on the field prior to traveling for an away game on April 20th, 2024.  The field is located on USD262 property behind 737 N. Meridian in Valley Center. 

 

The Valley Center Police Department continues the investigation and will present the case to the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office.

 

We encourage anyone who has information about the incident to contact the Valley Center Police Department.”

 

Updates will be added as they become available.

 

~ Original story:


The Valley Center school district has suspended the high school varsity baseball team’s season due to an active law enforcement investigation centered around possible animal cruelty.

 

KSNW reports that on Monday, April 22, 2024, the district sent out the following message to all Valley Center High School families:

 

“The Valley Center High School varsity baseball season has been suspended due to an active law enforcement investigation. High school administrators were alerted to an incident of possible animal cruelty involving the entire Hornet varsity baseball team and the entire coaching staff on USD 262 property. Immediately upon learning of the incident, high school and district leadership notified the appropriate authorities and suspended the season. A decision regarding the remainder of the baseball season will be made pending the outcome of the investigation.”

 

Details of the possible animal cruelty have not been released.

 

I have emailed the Valley Center Police Department to inquire about the investigation but Chief Lloyd Newman said: “We are still very early in the investigation and gathering information.”
