According to an arrest warrant, the incidents took place between April 1 and Sept. 25 in Hardin County.
Police say that in April, a woman saw 28-year-old Jaron Lockridge spray Spectacide Bug Stop bug killer on the dog food provided to his roommate's German Shepherd.
As a result of eating the food, police say the dog became very sick and continued to vomit. The dog eventually lost 20 pounds, and as of October, was still struggling to eat.
In June, police say Lockridge took a small red belt out of a woman's dress, wrapped it around the neck of one of his roommate's cats and lifted the cat off the ground, choking it for about 30 seconds.
Lockridge was allegedly, "laughing the entire time he was committing this act."
Lockridge's alleged crimes didn't end there. In September, police say he got mad at his roommate, and sprayed Spectacide Bug Stop bug killer into his roommate's fish tank.
Police say he shot "three big squirts" of the bug killer into the tank. As a result, nine small white fish, two mini fresh-water lobsters and one eel were poisoned to death.
A warrant was issued for Lockridge's arrest on Oct. 12. He was taken into custody Sunday afternoon.
He's charged with second degree cruelty to animals and torturing a dog or cat.
Lockridge is currently being held in the Hardin County Detention Center.

Jaron is married to Rachel Ann Lockridge. They announced the birth of their baby, Emma, in 2009. I hope Child Protective Services is doing an investigation as Jaron's actions clearly mark him as a deviant with mental health issues. Also, the judge should order that he not be around ANY animals until a disposition in court regarding these cruelty charges.

Jaron and Rachel Lockridge of Bardstown announce the birth of a daughter, Emma Lee Lockridge on April 24, 2009, at Hardin Memorial Hospital. She weighed 6 pounds, 11 ounces and was 19 ¼ inches long.
A website called topix has a thread running in which someone claiming to be Jaron Lockridge posted:
Jaron, Elizabethtown KY: Well well well I should have known my name would have came up on here. And truth be told it's all lies. The real animal abuser is the owner who beats his dog for using the bathroom in the house. Also never cleans the cat box but once a month. I have never in my life have gotten in trouble for anything other than speeding. It's funny how news papers and media changes everything around. Also I have adopted a few animals in my days. In addition, I have raised chickens and ducks from eggs. I bet any of you true low life's could even think of running a farm as well. Truth is justice will show I'm not guilty of any charges. Thanks for the support
You all are losing it over fish wtf. The dog is 100% fine nothing happened to the dog. While kill shelters kill thousands of animals each year. We drain the ocean of all living creatures at an astonishing rate yet no one bats a eye. Everyone so fast to be the judge and jury over something you know nothing about.
