TERRENCE ANDRE CROWDER found guilty – Three of the animals in his care were in extremely poor health

- Florida, USA -


Bill Gladson, Florida Fifth Judicial Circuit State Attorney, announced that on November 7, 2023, inside the courtroom of the Honorable Judge Peter Brigham, jurors found 62-years-old TERRENCE ANDRE CROWDER (pictured), guilty of one felony and two misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty.


The verdict was the result of “a thorough presentation of compelling evidence and expert subject matter testimony”, stated a press release by the State’s Attorney’s Office.


In July 2022, Marion County Animal Control Compliance Investigators responded to CROWDER’s property after receiving reports of animal negligence. The Marion County Sheriff’s Office was also called in for assistance.


From CROWDER’s property, officials removed thirteen (13) animals. Among them were a goat, a mare, and a miniature pony who were found in “appalling and negligent conditions”, stated the release.

The State’s Attorney’s Office identified the miniature pony as Shakira and the mare as Haling’s Darling.

According to the release, Shakira “had ‘elf shoe’ hooves from lack of care, which is extremely painful. All four hooves were also found to be infected with thrush.”

Haling’s Darling was extremely emaciated to the point that her ribs were showing.

As for the goat, he/she had an open, chronic wound on his/her back “that had been left untreated for quite some time – the wound was not only very tender to the touch but had calloused over.”


CROWDER, of Ocala, was subsequently arrested on August 20, 2022, and released on August 26, 2022, after posting bond.


State Attorney Gladson said in a statement: “𝘾𝙧𝙤𝙬𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙮 𝙙𝙚𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙤𝙛 𝙗𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙘 𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨 – 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙛𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚.

Online arrest records show that CROWDER is in custody awaiting sentencing.

His sentencing hearing will be scheduled at a later time.


It’s not good enough for me that this despicable individual was found guilty. I have never made it a secret that I believe that animal abusers should be hung from a tree and left hanging until the expiration of their useless and pathetic life!

I would love to see CROWDER’s cell covered in the same shit that those Voiceless Victims were living in. Furthermore, I would love to see him drinking the same filthy water from the same broken, rusty, bathtub shown in one of the pictures!

MERCEDEES LYNN COX and TYLER JAMES WILLIAM HANNERS arrested - Two mares found severely malnourished

- Florida, USA -


On Wednesday, August 31, 2022, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office received an anonymous call reporting that two horses had been starving at a property in the 16600 block of the southwest 42nd Loop.


Responding deputies found an 8-year-old Chestnut Quarter Horse mare named Cinnamon and an 18-year-old Old Bay Thoroughbred mare named Broadway, who were severely malnourished.


In a press release, the sheriff’s office said that Corporal Struble, Corporal James Manning, and Marion County Animal Control responded to the scene to conduct an investigation from which it emerged that 24-years-old MERCEDEES LYNN COX and 27-years-old TYLER JAMES WILLIAM HANNERS (both pictured), had bought Cinnamon and Broadway in June 2022.

Since then, Cinnamon and Broadway have lost a significant amount of weight.


Cinnamon and Broadway were in such visibly poor body condition that a veterinary with the Peterson Smith Equine Hospital was called in.


According to the press release, “Broadway was found to have a displaced colon, colic from ingesting sand, and a body condition score of one, which indicates she was emaciated. Due to the severity of Broadway’s condition, the veterinarian recommended medical euthanasia to prevent further suffering. Cinnamon was diagnosed with a heart murmur, heaves, rain rot, and a body condition score of two. With a proper medication and feeding regimen, Cinnamon is expected to make a full recovery.”

The sheriff’s office said that COX “continually insisted that the horses received adequate feedings despite the fact that both of the horses were visibly malnourished.”


The investigation determined that COX and HANNERS failed to provide adequate food, water, and medical care for Broadway and Cinnamon.


COX was arrested on September 1, 2022, and booked into the Marion County Jail on two felony counts of aggravated animal cruelty. She was released the following day after posting a $2,000 bond.


HANNERS turned himself in on September 6, 2022, and he was also charged with two felony counts of aggravated animal cruelty. He was released the following day after he was able to post a $2,000 bond.

IVERY LUCKEY JR. wanted for animal cruelty after more than 80 cows were found extremely malnourished

- Florida, USA -


On Wednesday, August 24, 2022, Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods during his regular “Wanted by Woods Wednesday” on Facebook, reached out to the public for assistance in locating 43-years-old IVERY LUCKEY JR. (pictured). LUCKEY is wanted for 24 counts of aggravated animal cruelty and 17 counts of animal cruelty.


During his video, Sheriff Woods showed some heartbreaking images of cows who were extremely malnourished to the extent that their rib cages were showing.

He said: “These animals are in this condition due to the cruelty of 43-year-old Ivery Luckey.”


Sheriff Woods explained that his “agriculture deputies alongside Marion County Animal Control officers investigated the well-being of over 80 cows and found the majority of them to be in so malnourished condition that you could see their rib cages. I was present, and I saw them as well.”


Except for one, all the cows were removed and are being treated.

One cow had to be euthanized because of the “horrible conditions she was left in”, said the sheriff.


While addressing directly to LUCKEY, Sheriff Woods told him that animal control officers spoke with him and he claimed he was in Georgia and that he would be back to talk to them but he did not show up.


Sheriff Woods is confident that his citizens, being animal lovers, will find him.

If you have any information on LUCKEY’s whereabouts, please call Crime Stoppers of Marion County at 352-368-STOP and reference 22-50 in your tip.

Sheriff Woods said if you use Crime Stoppers and your tip leads to an arrest, you could be eligible for a cash reward.


Meanwhile, as I was looking for LUCKEY’s court records, I learned that a “Petition for Hearing to Determine Fitness of Owner to Care for Animals” has been filed against him.
