HEINRICH KARLOS GONZALEZ MULLER arrested for animal cruelty and animal fighting

Updated: Oct 20, 2024

- Florida, USA -

 

The Lake County Sheriff’s Office arrested 53-year-old HEINRICH KARLOS GONZALEZ MULLER (pictured).

 

Court records show that GONZALEZ MULLER is facing a combination of one hundred and twenty-two (122) felony counts of cruelty to animals and animal fighting and baiting.

 

According to the probable Cause Affidavit obtained by Voice For Us through public search records, on April 27, 2024, Deputy Claxton and Deputy Banes responded to 38518 Ilex Trail in Eustis “in reference to a 911 hang up call to service.”

 

Upon arrival, deputies walked to the rear of the property to try to ascertain who called 911. Further behind the property, deputies saw 30-50 plus Hispanic males who became startled by the deputies’ presence and started loading up their vehicles with chickens in cages before speeding out of the property. The deputies then walked to the back of the property and discovered thirteen (13) chickens, and a goat. Sadly, in a hole, they also found at least ten (10) dead chickens.

 

The deputies reported that the property had a shooting range, as well as an animal fighting ring with a score board hanging on a post.

 

During the walk, the deputies came across two enclosed trailers and they could hear roosters crowing inside. Animal Control was alerted and Animal Control Investigator Wallyn responded to the scene. She saw multiple wire type cages next to abandoned vehicles scattered to the rear of the property. She then opened the trailers to let air in and found several roosters panting.

 

Officials were able to determine that GONZALEZ MULLER was the property owner after running a search on the Lake County Property appraiser's website. They also learned that 38518 Ilex Trail was his mailing address.

 

At that point a search warrant was executed and officials discovered and confiscated seventy-two (72) items of cockfighting paraphernalia including but not limited to gaffs, knives, spur saws, dubbing shears, waxed string, sparing muffs, rooster performance enhancement drugs, scales, and scabbards.

 

During the search, forty (40) live rosters were removed. The poor souls had no water. According to the affidavit, one of the forty roosters was found outfitted with items indicating that he was being prepared to fight. The roosters were taken to Lake County Animal Shelter to be evaluated. Sadly, seven (7) of them had to be euthanized due to the injuries sustained during the damn fights.

 

When searching the hole with the deceased chickens inside, officials found that one of them was still alive with his/her chest area slashed open. The affidavit stated, “It seems to have been discarded in the hole to die.”

 

GONZALEZ MULLER was arrested on June 16, 2024. Court records show that his arraignment is scheduled for July 15, 2024, at 8:30 a.m.

BRANDON LEE HUNT arrested after Healdton Police found thirty-nine dead chickens on his property

- Oklahoma, USA -


On Tuesday, August 22, 2022, the Healdton Police Department arrested 26-years-old BRANDON LEE HUNT (pictured) after several deceased chicken carcasses and other animals were discovered at a property on 922 Industrial Road in Healdton, Carter County.


According to the arrest affidavit obtained by Voice For Us, Healdton Police Officer Chance Robertson responded to the aforementioned property on Tuesday and knocked on the door but there was no answer. In the front yard of the residence, the officer saw one dead chicken and one dog running loose. On the south side of the home, the officer saw three cages; in one of them were three dead chickens, in another were two dead chickens, and in the last one there was one dead chicken. Officer Robertson also found two chained dogs and one of them, a brown dog, was so skinny that his/her ribs were showing.


As the officer walked to the back of the residence, he discovered a dead chicken by the camper, and more dead chickens inside cages in the backyards. According to the affidavit, “some of the chickens looked like they had just died”, while the others had been dead for a while.

Additionally, Officer Robertson found a black fifty-five gallon drum barrel with several dead chickens inside. The officer estimated a total of thirty-nine deceased chickens throughout the property.


According to a court document signed by Carter County District Attorney Melissa G. Handke, "BRANDON LEE HUNT ACTING TOGETHER AND IN CONCERT WITH REVA BLALOCK" did then and there unlawfully, willfully, knowingly, and wrongfully commit forty felony counts of cruelty to animals. The counts are in relation to the chickens who belonged to HUNT and who were willfully and cruelly neglected by being deprived of adequate care which resulted in their deaths, and to the brown dog, who belonged to HUNT, who was willfully and cruelly neglected by being deprived of proper care.


Healdton Police Chief Dustin Miller told KXII that they also found cats and a decomposed rabbit on the property. He added that Healdton animal control rescued the animals and took them to a local vet clinic to be treated. Sadly, one of the kittens died.


HUNT was placed under arrest and taken to Carter County Jail.


On a separate note, KXII reports that HUNT has been arrested for animal cruelty in 2021, after several dogs and pigeons were found on his property starving with no food or water. Two dogs were sadly found deceased. The following year, HUNT pleaded guilty to the charges of animal cruelty and was sentenced to only one year in jail.
