JAMES ALBERT CARDONA and REBECCA MARIE BENNETT facing animal cruelty charges

- Tennessee, USA -

On Sunday, November 6, 2022, a deputy with the Blount County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report about a suspicious male with a dog walking in the roadway in the area of Marble Hill and Dunlap Hollow roads.

The male, identified as 43-years-old JAMES ALBERT CARDONA (pictured), told the deputy that he had been attacked by the dog who he had on the leash. The deputy, however, noticed “superficial, non-puncturing wounds that appeared older in nature, and the dog appeared non-aggressive,” stated a news release by the sheriff’s office. The deputy then transported CARDONA to his residence on Misty Valley Road and discovered multiple dogs. The deputy reported that the dogs did not have any food, water, or shelter.

Sadly, the deputy also discovered “a partially burned deceased dog in a burn barrel.”

But that’s not all. Two puppies were found “inside a wooden utility building with no air, food, or water visible and squalid conditions,” said the sheriff’s office.

At one point, a woman identified as 47-years-old REBECCA MARIE BENNETT (also pictured), returned to the property, and told deputies on the scene that she lived there.

BENNETT had the nerve to tell deputies that “she had not noticed the dogs were malnourished,” stated the release.

In total, deputies discovered eight malnourished dogs who are now in the care of the Blount County Animal Shelter. CARDONA and BENNETT relinquished custody of the dogs.

Deputies arrested BENNETT and CARDONA and were each charged with aggravated cruelty to animals (Class E felony) and eight counts of cruelty to animals (Class A misdemeanor).

The pair were transported to the Blount County Correctional Facility and are both being held on bonds totaling $100,000 each.

CARDONA and BENNETT are scheduled to appear in Blount County General Sessions Court on November 9, 2022, at 9:00 a.m.

EDWARD THEODORE BRONAUGH arrested and eleven dogs were removed from the van he was driving

- Mississippi, USA -

On the morning of Tuesday, October 4, 2022, an officer with the Madison Police Department Criminal Interdiction Unit conducted a traffic stop on Interstate 55 southbound near the 108-mile marker in the City of Madison.

Madison police said in a news release that during this stop, the officer became suspicious of criminal activity and during a probable cause search of the vehicle, the officer recovered marijuana along with eleven dogs.

Police said the dogs were inside multiple cages, were malnourished, and one of them had injuries consistent with dogfighting.

The officer then called in an investigator with animal control who removed all eleven dogs and took them to a local veterinarian for emergency care and treatment.

Police arrested the driver of the van, 56-years-old EDWARD THEODORE BRONAUGH (pictured), of Indianapolis, Indiana. BRONAUGH was charged with transporting dogs for the purpose of dogfighting, animal cruelty, and possession of controlled substance.

BRONAUGH is being held at the Madison County Detention Center awaiting his initial appearance in the City of Madison Municipal Court.

Police said the investigation is ongoing and District Attorney John “Bubba” Bramlett was contacted. The case will be forwarded to his office for prosecution and potential forfeiture proceedings based upon the animal cruelty and transportation charges.

As I always say whenever I publish a dogfighting related story, I have nothing but hatred for those filthy individuals who make blood money at the expense of innocent animals!

If you like fights, just throw your friends and family into a ring and watch them injure each other!

Only a sick individual can watch animals fight. Just get an honest job!!!
