Florida: Delvin Sasnett and Gary Bragg charged with multiple counts of animal cruelty

FLORIDA -- On March 11, at approximately 3 a.m., Gary Allen Bragg (aka Gary Brigg), 23, of 106 Ave. A East, Winter Haven, and Delvin Eugene Sasnett, 25, of 2956 U.S. 17-92 W., Haines City, were arrested following an incident in which Bartow Police were dispatched to an area of Lake Ruth after a reporting party advised seeing flashlights on the bank of the lake and hearing what sounded like a BB gun being fired.

The reporting party suspected someone was hunting the ducks at the lake.

Defendants were located by law enforcement on the east bank of Lake Ruth and were hunting and trapping ducks. In the back of the defendants’ vehicle were 11 ducks in metal cages; five had been shot with a pellet rifle.

Ducks not instantly killed had been placed into cages and left to die from wounds rather than killed humanely, police reported. Bartow Police observed three of the five ducks still alive; those died before the investigation was completed.

The six surviving ducks were released from the cages. The five deceased ducks were removed from the cages and photographed. Only three ducks were observed remaining at Lake Ruth.

There were also dead opossums in the bed of the truck, killed with a metal baseball bat. The bat, as well as the pellet gun were recovered on the scene.

Bragg was charged with seven counts of animal cruelty; 11 counts of Bartow Bird and Squirrel Sanctuary; 1 count of park regulations-hunt/trap/kill animals.

Sasnett was charged with seven counts of animal cruelty; 11 counts of Bartow Bird and Squirrel Sanctuary; 1 count of park regulations-hunt/trap/kill animals.
