The Petal Police Department arrested an 11-year-old boy for killing a family’s dog.


On the afternoon of March 17, 2025, police received a call about a dog being attacked with a large stick.

The furvictim a 7-year-old male named Chico, was Timber Roberts’ dog. He was leashed behind the building of his family’s business on Old Richton Road, with his sister Romie, where he was taken to every day. Ms. Roberts’ stepdad found Chico lifeless later that afternoon.


Video footage from a neighbor showed a boy walking up and striking Chico multiple times.


Police charged the juvenile with aggravated animal cruelty and the case has been submitted to the Juvenile Youth Court. Because of his age, he won’t be prosecuted as an adult.


The boy was visiting his grandmother and she was charged with neglect as she failed to provide adequate supervision of a child.


Ms. Roberts is petitioning to strengthen Mississippi animal cruelty laws in support of Senate Bill 2261, also known as “Buddy’s Law.” Please, click here to sign the petition. Thank you.

The Hattiesburg Police Department arrested 38-years-old ORLANDA EVAN WILEY and 31-years-old CORY MEKALDRICK RAMSEY (both pictured).

 

WILEY and RAMSEY are involved in two separate animal cruelty cases.

 

According to the press release by the police obtained by Voice For Us, both incidents happened on March 7, 2024, in the 20 block of Central School Road.

 

When officers responded to the scene, they found two dogs who were suffering from a broken leg and spine.

 

An investigation determined that WILEY had thrown one of the two dogs off a second-floor balcony.

Investigators further learned that the other dog had been struck by a vehicle on March 4, 2024, and that RAMSEY neglected to seek medical care for him/her. The poor dog was left with his/her injuries untreated for four long days.

 

The Hattiesburg Police Department Detectives and Animal Control Divisions arrested WILEY and RAMSEY for one count of aggravated cruelty to an animal. The duo were booked into the Forrest County Jail and at time of writing, online records show they are still in custody.

 

I have emailed the Hattiesburg Police Department to inquire about the Voiceless Victims’ well-being and I was told that this is an ongoing investigation and additional details will be released as they become available.
