Petal Police arrested an 11-year-old boy for beating a dog to death

- Mississippi, USA -


The Petal Police Department arrested an 11-year-old boy for killing a family’s dog.


On the afternoon of March 17, 2025, police received a call about a dog being attacked with a large stick.

The furvictim a 7-year-old male named Chico, was Timber Roberts’ dog. He was leashed behind the building of his family’s business on Old Richton Road, with his sister Romie, where he was taken to every day. Ms. Roberts’ stepdad found Chico lifeless later that afternoon.


Video footage from a neighbor showed a boy walking up and striking Chico multiple times.


Police charged the juvenile with aggravated animal cruelty and the case has been submitted to the Juvenile Youth Court. Because of his age, he won’t be prosecuted as an adult.


The boy was visiting his grandmother and she was charged with neglect as she failed to provide adequate supervision of a child.


Ms. Roberts is petitioning to strengthen Mississippi animal cruelty laws in support of Senate Bill 2261, also known as “Buddy’s Law.” Please, click here to sign the petition. Thank you.

The Madison County Sheriff’s Office arrested 53-year-old WESLEY GEORGE KEYSER (pictured) after several dogs and horses were found in “deplorable conditions.”

 

On October 24, 2024, deputies were alerted to issues regarding animal cruelty and responded to the given address to investigate.

 

Deputies found forty-five (45) dogs and four (4) horses suffering from malnutrition.

Madison County Sheriff Randy Tucker said the animals were not being provided any cover from the weather.

 

All the Voiceless Victims were taken to the Webster Animal Shelter in Madison where veterinarians are providing the care and treatment they need.

 

KEYSER was arrested on October 24, 2024, and terminated from his job at the Madison County Detention Center where he had been employed for approximately nine months.

 

Sheriff Tucker said that KEYSER will be charged with animal cruelty for each animal who was removed from the property. The sheriff said in a statement: “The dogs and horses were living in deplorable conditions, and it is our hope they will be matched with new owners. For those who hurt our animals, beware that we will take every legal measure to make sure you pay the price for hurting the defenseless. This will never be tolerated in Madison County.”

 

At the time of writing, online arrest records show that KEYSER is being held at the Madison County Detention Center on a $46,000 bond.
