JONATHAN CLARENCE ROBERTS arrested after dead animals found on a Screven County property

- Georgia, USA -


The Screven County Sheriff’s Office launched an investigation after receiving complaints about livestock not being properly taken care of at a property in the 2400 block of Jenk Hill Road in Sylvania.


After executing a search warrant, deputies discovered two dead cows as well as other dead animals “within sight of a public roadway”, stated a release by the sheriff’s office.


Deputies also found two living goats and eleven cows who were malnourished.


Animal Control, a veterinarian, and a Department of Agriculture Inspector assisted with the investigation and it was determined that 73-year-old JONATHAN CLARENCE ROBERTS (pictured), “failed to provide adequate food or water to the animals.”


According to the sheriff’s office, the neglect caused the death of the two cows. The press release further stated that “additional cow carcasses appeared to be left to rot where they died.”


The live animals were removed from the property and taken to an unspecified location to be cared for.


ROBERTS was charged with eleven counts of animal neglect, two counts of aggravated cruelty to animals, and one count of abandonment of a dead animal.

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.
