LAKESHA LAQUESHA NEAL arrested after surveillance cameras captured her torturing two defenseless dogs

- Texas, USA -


On Friday, March 28, 2025, deputies with the Office of Harris County Constable Precinct One Alan Rosen arrested 43-year-old LAKESHA LAQUESHA NEAL (pictured).


NEAL is accused of torturing two dogs who were in her “care and custody”, according to the Harris County Precinct 1 Constable’s Office.

The abuse, which was caught on surveillance camera, occurred at an apartment complex in the 800 block of Greens Road.


In one video reviewed by Constable Precinct One animal-cruelty investigators, NEAL can be seen “kicking a mixed-breed dog in the head and choking it to the point that its eyes were bulging”, stated the press release. The dog was also “strangled so tightly by a collar and leash” that he/she vomited.


In another video, NEAL can be seen “kicking, slapping, punching, whipping and choking the same dog, as well as another canine, also a mixed breed.”


Investigators say the furvictims were left outside in direct sunlight for hours without food, water, or shelter, including during a period when temperatures hit 86 degrees.


Following a joint investigation with the Houston Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Houston SPCA), NEAL was placed under arrest at her residence.


Harris County Precinct 1 Constable’s Office said deputies are trying to locate the dogs to check on their welfare. I was told by a spokesperson that one dog is a Pitbull mix and the other is a Lab mix.


NEAL was charged with two felony counts of cruelty to non-livestock animals. If convicted, she faces up to ONLY two years in state jail. For now, she’s out free!


Constable Alan Rosen said: “We have to be the voice of the voiceless. She tortured these dogs and we are grateful all those who step forward to report abuse.”

AARON RICE, dog trainer, arrested and nineteen dogs removed from a Will County home

- Illinois, USA -


On March 27, 2025, 36-year-old AARON RICE (pictured), turned himself into the Will County Sheriff’s Office on charges of aggravated cruelty to animals, cruelty to animals, and violating owners duties.


Prosecutors say RICE ran a dog training business from his home in the 100 block of Willow Bend Drive.

According to prosecutors, a woman had contracted RICE for a four-week training program and on January 23, 2025, she handed over to him her Great Dane named Freya.

While Freya was in RICE’s care, her mom kept asking RICE for pictures and updates on her training progress but never received any.


On January 31, 2025, RICE contacted Freya’s mom to tell her that Freya was not eating. He did not disclose the whole truth; he just said that Freya was having difficulty standing.


On the same day, Freya was taken to an emergency hospital in critical condition. Veterinarians reported that her condition suggested she had been starved and confined in a space too small for her size.


The Bolingbrook Police Department was alerted and officers were dispatched to RICE’s home to investigate possible animal cruelty.


Following an investigation, a search warrant was obtained and executed on March 14, 2025. The search led to the discovery of nineteen (19) dogs who were removed and taken to the police animal care facility.


Police told Voice For Us most of the dogs showed “signs of malnourishment” and specifically “two adult dogs and five puppies were taken to a local veterinarian for various injuries and signs of possible infection.”


On March 19, 2025, a warrant was issued for RICE’s arrest. At the time of writing, online records show that RICE is being held into the Will County Adult Detention Facility. According to court records, RICE’s preliminary hearing is set for April 10, 2025, at 9:00 a.m.
