QUENTIN GAJUAN CALHOUN-POPE arrested after a dog was found dead in the backyard of a Lynchburg home

- Virginia, USA -

 

On September 27, 2024, the Lynchburg Police Department’s Animal Control Unit responded to a residence in the 1500 Block of Bedford Avenue to investigate a call regarding a deceased dog in the backyard of the residence.

 

Responding officers found the deceased dog and subsequently applied for a search warrant to conduct a thorough investigation of the property.

 

Upon execution of the search warrant, the deceased dog was removed and a necropsy was performed to determine the cause of death. According to the media release by the Lynchburg Police Department results “provided critical evidence in the case” but did not elaborate on that.

 

As a result of the investigation, on October 11, 2024, police arrested 28-year-old QUENTIN GAJUAN CALHOUN-POPE (pictured).

 

CALHOUN-POPE  was charged with felony animal cruelty and booked into the Blue Ridge Regional Jail.

At the time of writing, online records show that CALHOUN-POPE was released after posting bond.

 

Police did not disclose additional information about the furvictim, so I emailed them to learn more. In an email, I was told: “Currently, it's still an active and ongoing criminal investigation, and we are unable to provide details beyond what we have shared in the original news release.”

 

Lynchburg Police ask anyone who has information about this incident to contact the department at (434) - 455 - 6050, or Crime Stoppers at (888) - 798 - 5900. Thank you!

 

I took the liberty of naming the furvictim Sprinkles for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.

CARL EDWARD JACKSON arrested after twelve dogs were removed from a Lynchburg home

- Virginia, USA -


The Bedford County Sheriff's Office said in a media release that on May 19, 2023, a citizen reported an injured and malnourished dog running at large in the area of the 3000 block of Trents Ferry Road in Lynchburg. The reporting party said that the dog’s injuries were old and untreated.


Bedford Animal Control Unit responded to the area and according to the sheriff’s office, 67-years-old CARL EDWARD JACKSON (pictured), “claimed ownership of the dog.”


From an investigation it emerged that JACKSON had other dogs.

The release goes on to say that “Due to other dogs on the property and living conditions, a search warrant for the property was obtained and executed.”

Officials found and removed eleven more dogs who were then taken to a local vet for treatment.


JACKSON was taken into custody and arraigned on animal cruelty charges on May 23, 2023.

Online arrest records show that JACKSON is being held in the Blue Ridge Regional Jail on no bond and his preliminary hearing is slated for Monday, August 21, 2023, at 1:30 p.m. at Bedford General District Court.


The sheriff’s office advises anyone who is interested in adopting one of the furvictims to contact the Bedford County Animal Shelter at 540-586-7690 or the Friends of Bedford County Animal Shelter, Inc. Thank you!
