ALFREDO FARIAS JR. arrested after malnourished livestock found in a "makeshift stable"

- Texas, USA -

 

The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office arrested 36-year-old ALFREDO FARIAS JR (pictured).

 

According to the sheriff’s office, on August 5, 2024, deputies responded to the 500 block of Shagbark in South Bexar County to investigate an animal cruelty case.

 

Upon arrival, they found “a pony and a horse confined in a makeshift stable that was not suitable for livestock”, said the sheriff’s office.

 

As soon as the deputies unlocked the stable, the pony and the horse quickly ran to a grassy area showing obvious signs of hunger.

 

The deputies said that FARIAS admitted he was aware of the poor conditions but did not seek medical attention.

 

The pony and the horse were immediately removed and taken to a recovery facility for treatment and care.

 

FARIAS was placed under arrest and charged with cruelty to livestock animals.

CHRISTOPHER JAMES WALLACE and an unnamed juvenile arrested for killing cattle with a crossbow

- Oklahoma, USA -

 

Following a month-long investigation into the killing of a dozen cattle, the Shawnee Police Department arrested 18-year-old CHRISTOPHER JAMES WALLACE (pictured) and a juvenile whose identity was not shared.

 

WALLACE and the juvenile are accused of using a crossbow to kill cattle who were the property of Saint Gregory’s Abbey, a Roman Catholic monastery on 1900 West MacArthur Street in Shawnee.

 

Police said that on June 22, 2024, they received the first report about the cattle and then a second report came in on July 22, 2024, when a worker saw flashlights in a field and found a crossbow near a tree.

 

Police responded to the call and made contact with WALLACE and the juvenile who were subsequently detained and interviewed.

 

According to police, the cattle were killed for thrill-seeking rather than for the animal’s meat.

 

On July 24, 2024, a brief release on the monastery’s website read: “Over the past couple of months, the Abbey has lost several cattle due to vandals. The police are investigating these incidents. Meanwhile, the Abbey has lost approximately $25,000-$30,000 worth of beef.  Generous folks have asked to donate to help the monastery recoup some of these losses.”

 

The Rev. Simeon Spitz told The Oklahoman that he and the abbey's cattle manager “had been concerned about disappearing cattle dating back to October and November 2023.”

He said: “Normally, we check on cattle every three or four days, then we started checking every day. Finally, we found one with an arrow lodged in it.”

 

Spitz also said that about fourteen (14) cattle were killed, including female calves and bull calves. The innocent souls “would have been sold or raised for beef sold as part of the abbey's Mission Monks label at its Monk's Marketplace”, reports The Oklahoman.

 

WALLACE is facing four complaints of cruelty to animals and two counts of larceny of livestock.

 

The case involving the juvenile was sent to a government agency that deals with juvenile offenders.

RICARDO SEGURA JR. arrested in connection with the killing of a donkey and a pony

- Texas, USA -

 

The Laredo Police Department arrested 22-years-old RICARDO SEGURA JR. (pictured).

 

On February 10, 2024, the owner of a property in the 14 block of Candlewood Road reported to the police finding one of her donkeys killed by blunt force.

 

Four days later, on February 14, 2024, the woman called police to report that her pony had been decapitated.

 

Officers responded to the aforementioned property and an investigation was launched by Crimes Against Property. Investigators identified SEGURA as the suspect involved in both incidents.

 

In an interview with KGNS, investigator Joe Baeza with the Laredo Police Department, explained that after executing a search warrant at SEGURA’s home, investigators were able to link certain items that were found at the home as hard evidence to what was found at the scene where the animals were discovered.

 

Police said there are additional issues and details they can’t discuss because the investigation is ongoing.

 

On March 11, 2024, SEGURA was arrested and booked into the Webb County Jail on two counts of cruelty to livestock animals. Justice of the Peace Danny Dominguez set a combined bond of $20,000. At time of writing, SEGURA is still in custody.

 

Police also said they are waiting for certain test results to come in before adding any potential charges.

 

Authorities did not disclose the names of the deceased Voiceless Victims, so I took the liberty of naming them Stella and Luna (Italian for respectively Star and Moon) for the tribute image. Should their given names be made public, I will rectify them accordingly.
