LISANDRO ARELLANO arrested after he was witnessed dragging a family member’s dog behind a truck

- Florida, USA -


The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office announced the arrest of 45-years-old LISANDRO ARELLANO (pictured), after a witness saw him dragging a helpless dog behind a moving truck on October 9, 2022.


The sheriff’s office said in a news release that the witness saw ARELLANO dragging a French Bulldog mix while traveling eastbound on Lantana Road between Military Trail and Lawrence Road. According to the release, “The witness caught the attention of the suspect, thinking it was an honest mistake, but when the suspect stopped his vehicle, he picked the dog up off the ground and threw her in the bed of his truck then drove off.”

The witness was thankfully able to provide authorities with a picture of the truck’s license plate.


Detectives and PBC Animal Care & Control, located ARELLANO, who agreed to turn over the French Bulldog mix, named Blanco, to PBC Animal Care & Control. From the investigation it emerged that Blanco was a family members’ dog and that person had trusted ARELLANO to look after the furbaby. WPBF refers to the furbaby as Blanca.


Blanco inevitably sustained injuries from being dragged by her neck while her body was scraped along the roadway. ARELLANO unnecessarily allowed Blanco to suffer in pain repeatedly and the sheriff’s office is grateful to the witness for stepping in and reporting the “heinous act.”


ARELLANO was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail on one count of aggravated animal cruelty and one count of cruelty towards animals. Online arrest records show ARELLANO was released after posting bond.


The sheriff’s office said that Blanco is being treated and recovering.

ETHAN KLAY MORALES arrested for stealing dog from a front yard while working door-to-door

- Florida, USA -


The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office arrested 19-years-old ETHAN KLAY MORALES (pictured), an Alabama salesman, for stealing a dog from a Florida home and attempting to send the furbaby to a shelter.


The incident happened on the afternoon of Thursday, October 20, 2022, when MORALES was walking through a neighborhood in Rockledge conducting door-to-door sales. A Jack Russell mix dog named Angus who was in his guardian’s front yard of a home on 528 Glenbrook Circle ran up to MORALES.

MORALES picked up the furbaby and continued walking down the road. About an hour later, MORALES returned to Angus’ guardian’s, Joe McPherson, to sell solar equipment.

Mr. McPherson asked MORALES whether he had seen a dog, he answered: “No, have a blessed day.”

Thankfully, a neighbor was able to show Mr. McPherson footage from their security camera in which MORALES could be seen picking up Angus and walking away with him.


When deputies located MORALES and asked him about the dog, he told them he had not seen the dog and that he had no knowledge of the incident. At that point deputies told him there was a video showing him picking up the furbaby and walking away.


MORALES told deputies he put the dog in his friend’s car and that the friend took the dog to a shelter. Later, deputies learned that MORALES took Angus to his mother’s home in Palm Bay.


Online arrest records show that MORALES was arrested and charged with one misdemeanor count of animal cruelty and one felony count of grand theft. He was released from the Brevard County Jail after posting a $2,500 bond.

The DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release that an animal cruelty investigation conducted by Sgt. Bailey, Sgt. Proudfit, Cpl. Buck, and Det. Friend, led them to a property on 8789 SW Hampshire Avenue in Arcadia.


Inside the residence, officers found multiple deceased animals along with animals who were malnourished and some who later “needed to be euthanized,” stated the release.


Officers also found multiple bags of animal food and referring to 21-years-old SAMUEL AARON RICHARDS and 21-years-old MARGARET FRANCES HORNBERGER (both pictured), the sheriff’s office said: “…but these two individuals decided to leave the animals in their cages and not feed them.”


The sheriff’s office said the residence was in complete disarray and was littered with animal feces and urine.


HORNBERGER and RICHARDS were arrested on Thursday, October 13, 2022, and each charged with eight counts of keeping animals in an enclosure without exercise or air, and two counts of animal cruelty and causing torment or death to an animal.


The pair were booked into the DeSoto County Jail on $8,000 total bond.

Online arrest records show that HORNBERGER was released while RICHARDS is still in custody.


Court records show that both HORNBERGER and RICHARDS are scheduled to be arraigned on November 28, 2022, at 9:00 a.m. before Judge Don Thomas Hall.


DeSoto County Animal Control took custody of the surviving animals who will be in their care until they have been medically cleared.
