Virginia: Dead dog on Vinton lawn leads to Gary Thompson, 46, arrest

VIRGINIA -- Police arrested a Vinton man and charged him with felony animal cruelty after they found a dead German Shepherd on his front lawn.

On Monday, April 25, at 4:28 p.m., Vinton police officers responded to a home in the 600 block of South Maple Street, for a well-being check as family members reported having difficulty contacting 45-year-old Gary Edward Thompson, who lived at the home, and were concerned for his health and safety.

On April 26, the dog was transported to the Lynchburg Regional Animal Health Laboratory to confirm the manner and cause of death, although an examination of the dog at the scene indicated it did not likely die of natural causes.

Thompson was subsequently arrested, charged and transported by officers of the Vinton Police Department to the Roanoke County–Salem Jail and later transferred to Western Virginia Regional Jail where he is still in custody.

ILLINOIS -- Henry Co. Sheriff’s Office investigators and animal control officers were at a home in Orion, Illinois on Wednesday, where they seized 80-100 cats in an apparent animal hoarding investigation.

The cats taken from the house are being cared for and rehabilitated by staff at Orion Veterinary Clinic.

 

 

 

Dr. Becky Polage says many of the cats are in poor condition and had been living in terrible conditions inside the house near 1st St. and 10th Avenue.

Investigators began their operation Wednesday morning. Animal control officers were still on scene at 1:30 p.m.

KWQC spoke with the cats’ owner who had no comment regarding the investigation. Investigators also had no comment.

 

Orion Mayor Jim Cooper says the city has known of the situation for years now and says the owner must be brought into compliance with city code. He had no other comment.

Um, OK. So they've known for YEARS that she's abusing (and possibly killing) animals and they did... what? NOTHING??

Once the cats are in good health, Dr. Polage says they will be fostered out to new homes.

 

 

The clinic is asking for food and cat litter donations.

Texas: Registered Sex Offender Christobal Martinez, 56, Arrested for Severely Neglected and Emaciated Pit Bull

TEXAS -- Tracy Gonzalez, public information officer for the San Angelo Police Department, said Christobal Guerrero Martinez, 56, was charged yesterday after police discovered the man’s severely neglected dog tied to a fence in the 400 block of E. 19th St.

“A San Angelo Police officer who was in the area on an unrelated call for service heard what sounded like a dog coughing and became concerned,” explained Gonzalez. “The officer approached the residence and discovered a pit bull tied to a fence. The dog was dehydrated and emaciated, and the dog’s bones were visible through the skin.” 

Gonzalez added that the officer, while waiting for Animal Control to respond, identified Martinez upon his arrival to his home. Animal Control arrived and seized the dog due to the poor living conditions and the dog’s weakened state of health.

“Martinez was arrested and transported to the Tom Green County Jail without incident,” said Gonzalez.  He was ordered to post a surety bond of $500.

This arrest marks Martinez’s seventh arrest.

His crimes include indecency with a child, sexual assault of a child, unlawful possession of marijuana, public lewdness, burglary of a vehicle, criminal mischief, possession of a prohibited weapon, retaliation, burglary of a habitat, enticing a minor, fraudulent removal of writing and this incident.
