- Alabama, USA -
At around 3:30 a.m., Friday, September 29, 2023, deputies with the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a residence in the 1100 block of Greymont Boulevard in Moundville, after receiving a call about a man who had been stabbed.
According to the press release by the sheriff’s office obtained by Voice For Us, upon arrival deputies learned that 29-years-old NICHOLAS JERISAAC LYNCH (pictured) had broken into his ex-girlfriend’s home. When it happened, the woman, her dog, her two children under the age of 12, and her current boyfriend were home.
The woman told deputies that LYNCH parked his car and forced his way in. During the altercation, LYNCH stabbed the woman’s boyfriend several times. He then proceeded to kill the woman’s dog and assault her children.
When deputies arrived, LYNCH had already fled the scene and the two adults had left the home. As deputies cleared the residence, they found the deceased dog and the children hiding in separate places.
According to the release, “A perimeter was set up and deputies utilized canine and arial drone assets, as well as sending an IPAWS (Emergency Phone Alert) to the surrounding area. The Drone Unit was able to locate the suspect hiding in a wooded area, and deputies and investigators converged and took him into custody.”
LYNCH is charged with Aggravated Animal Cruelty among other charges.
Online arrest records show that LYNCH is being held into the Tuscaloosa County without bond.
The sheriff’s office did not disclose additional information about the dog.
I took the liberty of naming the Voiceless Victim Starflower for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.
