MARK ROOSEVELT FIELDS found guilty of stabbing his cousin’s dog who had to be euthanized

Following a two-day trial, on January 10, 2025, a Calvert County jury convicted 39-year-old MARK ROOSEVELT FIELDS (pictured) on aggravated animal cruelty and dangerous weapons charges.


At trial, evidence revealed that on the early evening of May 29, 2024, FIELDS stabbed his cousin’s dog following a family dispute. The incident took place at a residence in the 2000 block of Andelina Road in Prince Frederick.


Calvert County State’s Attorney Robert H. Harvey Jr. tells me that the furvictim was a 5-year-old male American Pitbull Terrier mix named Ice and that his guardians had raised him since he was a puppy.


The Calvert County Sheriff’s Office was alerted to the incident and when deputies arrived at the home, they learned from Ice’s guardians that FIELDS came onto their property with a knife and was calling for Ice’s male guardian whom I will refer to as Mr. McK


Mrs. McK came out and told FILEDS that he was not supposed to be there and asked him why he had a knife. FIELDS told Mrs. McK to go get her husband and added that he was leaving.


Mrs. McK went back inside and as she was telling her husband that FIELDS was outside, FIELDS stabbed Ice.


Ice was rushed to Mid-Atlantic Animal Specialty Hospital (MASH) in Huntingtown. Veterinarians told Mr. and Mrs. McK that the knife had possibly caused an arterial bleed and advised that even with critical care, the prognosis was not good. Sadly, Ice was euthanized due to the extent of the injuries he sustained.


Calvert County Animal Control Officer Alexis King responded to the scene and following an investigation, FIELDS was arrested and charged with two misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty and one felony count of animal cruelty.


On June 3, 2024, during a bail review hearing, Judge Robert B. Riddle ordered FIELDS to be held be held without bond and he has remained in custody throughout the legal process.


FIELDS will be sentenced on March 14, 2025. Until that time, he will be held without bond at the Calvert County Detention Center. He is facing up to only six years in prison.

COREY ELVIN HANNAH convicted of animal cruelty – Sentencing scheduled for October 2022

~ Update: July 29, 2022


I have heard back from the Baltimore County State’s Attorney’s Office and sadly learned that “Several of the dogs, unfortunately, were not able to be rehabilitated.”


Adam Lippe, Chief Animal Abuse Unit, declined to provide me with HANNAH’s mugshot.



~ Original story:


The Baltimore County State’s Attorney’s Office announced that on Wednesday, July 27, 2022, in the Baltimore County Circuit Court, a jury convicted 47-years-old COREY ELVIN HANNAH on 17 counts of aggravated animal cruelty, animal abuse and animal neglect.

The trial was before the Honorable Judith C. Ensor.

Officials said it took the jury only 90 minutes to convict HANNAH.


The case stems back two years ago when acting on a tip about a dogfighting ring, an investigation was conducted jointly by the Baltimore County Police Department and Animal Services from both Baltimore County and Baltimore City.


In a news release the Baltimore County State’s Attorney’s Office said that the investigation led to the execution of a search warrant at HANNAH's residence on Worthington Avenue in Reisterstown on May 27, 2020.


At the residence authorities found 26 dogs in poor condition. According to the release, 5 of the dogs had numerous injuries and serious untreated medical conditions.

The release further stated that the jury found that 4 of the dogs had been tortured.


According to WBAL, investigators believe that HANNAH also took in other people’s abandoned dogs who were mangled, beaten, and cut for Pitbull fights.

One of the dogs was missing his/her ears.


As indicated in the release, “At the time of the execution of the warrant, all of the dogs were taken and have been treated successfully.”

However, WBALTV reports that: “Some of the dogs were in such bad shape, that they had to be put down.”

In regard to this, I have emailed the Baltimore County State’s Attorney’s Office and requested to clarify this.


State's Attorney Scott Shellenberger expressed his gratitude to Animal Services and the Police Department and Assistant State Attorney Adam Lippe for their excellent work in protecting the dogs from further torture or even death and said: “Domestic animals are unquestionably among those which we have an obligation to protect from harm and mistreatment. Thankfully, in this case we have succeeded in doing so.”


HANNAH is scheduled to be back in court on October 13, 2022, for sentencing.

He faces 17 years behind bars and I truly hope he will serve them all!!!!


Once again, I want to express my loathing and anger toward people like COREY ELVIN HANNAH who make a dishonest living at the expense of innocent animals. Blood money in return for torture, abuse, pain, and neglect! HANNAH, how can you expect and demand your life be respected when you do not hesitate to harm, torture, and kill innocent beings unable to defend themselves?

COREY ELVIN HANNAH, animals lives matter. Lives like yours, however, do not!
