ASHLYN ELIZABETH WHITE and NATHAN WESLEY WHITE arrested – Two cows and two horses surrendered

- North Carolina, USA -

The Davidson County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrested of 32-years-old ASHLYN ELIZABETH WHITE and her husband 33-years-old NATHAN WESLEY WHITE (both pictured).

According to the sheriff’s office, deputies initially received a call on August 22, 2023, requesting a welfare check for livestock animals on a property on Haden Grove Church Road.

The investigation determined the WHITES to be the guardians of the animals at the property and a compliance order for the animals was issued to the couple.

On January 16, 2024, deputies received another call for a welfare check on the animals and were alerted to more animals being at the same property.

The sheriff’s office said that due to “Exigent Circumstances”, two cows and two horses were surrendered.  

According to the arrest warrants obtained by Voice For Us, the WHITES “unlawfully, willfully, and intentionally” deprived of necessary sustenance:

A brown horse named Witchblade.

One white mare

One Jersey Steer

One Holstein Steer

Several chickens

Two mixed dogs

Two goats

One Donkey

One Pig

One black mini mare

Additionally, the WHITES “unlawfully, willfully, and feloniously” failed to provide adequate food and water for at least five Silkie chickens that resulted in their death.

On February 6, 2024, the WHITES, of Lexington, were arrested and charged with felony count of animal cruelty and nine misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty. The couple will be at Davidson County District Court on March 7, 2024, at 9:00 a.m.

The investigation remains ongoing.

JONNI VALDES GOULDING and JOSEPH TAYLOR SCROGGS accused of abandoning a blind and emaciated dog

- North Carolina, USA -

~ Update: February 26, 2024

According to the arrest warrants, the Voiceless Victim’s name was Luna. The picture has been updated accordingly. I am still waiting to hear back from the Davidson County Sheriff's Office regarding Luna’s age.

I also learned that SCROGGS’s case is currently scheduled for court on April 19, 2024.

~ Original story:

The Davidson County Sheriff's Office announced that 54-years-old JONNI VALDES GOULDING and 56-years-old JOSEPH TAYLOR SCROGGS (both pictured), are facing animal cruelty charges in connection with a case that is beyond evil!

According to the media release by the sheriff’s office, on January 8, 2024, deputies received a call about a blind, emaciated Husky type dog who was found abandoned near the Warf Road/Feezor Road area.

With the help of the Davidson County Animal Shelter and the Neshama Animal Rescue a post was published on social media, and that helped to determine that GOULDING and SCROGGS were the guardians of the Voiceless Victim.

According to the sheriff's office, despite the emergency medical treatment provided to the dog and all efforts to save this precious life, the furvictim’s “condition [deteriorated] rapidly and she succumbed to her abuse and neglect.’”

On January 19, 2024, SGROGGS, of 300 Cloverdale Drive in High Point, was charged and arrested for one felony count of animal cruelty and one misdemeanor count of animal cruelty. 

On February 21, 2024, GOULDING, of 2107 Pyramids Village Boulevard in Greensboro, was charged with one felony count of animal cruelty and one misdemeanor count of cruelty to animals/abandonment of an animal. She is scheduled to appear in District Court in Lexington on the morning of Wednesday, March 20, 2024, at 9:00.

Davidson County Sheriff Richie Simmons encourages anyone with information related to this case to contact Deputy C. Soles at the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office Animal Control Division at (336) - 242 - 2105. Thank you!

Investigation underway after a cow and a horse were shot in Davidson County

- North Carolina, USA -

~ Update: November 20, 2023

After hearing back from the Davidson County Sheriff's Office, this is what I learned: “…we are investigating both incidents at this time. We know that the cow incident is an intentional matter and is being investigated as such. The horse matter, we don’t know what caused this. The horse is still living, but the cow is not. We are doing our best to investigate to find the suspect(s) in the intentional shooting of this poor animal. I don’t think we know what happened to the horse. At this time we aren’t releasing any information on the victim in this matter.”

~ Original story:

The Davidson County Sheriff’s Office is reaching out to the public for information that can lead to the criminal conviction of the person(s) responsible for shooting a cow and a horse.

In a media release, the sheriff’s office said that on November 5-6, 2023, deputies launched an animal cruelty investigation after a horse was found shot in the face, specifically in the nasal cavity, in the area of Wildlife Road in Lexington.

A week later, deputies launched a second investigation after on November 12, 2023, a cow had been shot twice in the shoulder area in the Turner Road area in Lexington.

Evidence gathered during the investigations, including veterinary documentation and interviews, indicated that the Voiceless Victims had possibly been shot with Black Powder Shot. The good news is that the innocent souls survived the shootings and are currently going through medical treatment.

As stated in the release, “there are no documented suspects or witnesses at this time” and the victims cannot tell us who is the evil individual who did this.

So, they rely on us to speak up, give them justice, and punish the monster(s).

If you have any information about this case, please, come forward and contact Deputy C. Soles at the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office Animal Control Division at (336) - 242 - 2105. Thank you!
