Brooks County Sheriff Mike Dewey announced today the arrest of Cory Ward, 17, of Brooks County for Aggravated Cruelty to Animals in the death of two cats and the disfiguration of a third cat in the area of Eagle Run Trailer Park. Ward was taken into custody at approximately 12:30 p.m. today and is to appear before Brooks County Magistrate Judge Joyce Miskiel this afternoon for arraignment.
On December 20, 2008, Jim Ragan found two cats that were severely burned. Both cats were taken to Baytree Animal Hospital. On December 22, 2008, Mr. Ragan found a third cat that had also been burned and had two broken legs.
Two of the cats – "Fluffy" and "Little Jim" were taken to the University of Florida Veterinary Hospital where they later died. Blackie continues to improve at home with surgery scheduled in the next few weeks.
"After extensive investigation and follow-up on leads provided to us by concerned citizens we were able to solve this case," stated Sheriff Mike Dewey. "We appreciate the many individuals who came forward with information and offers to help with the medical costs and the reward money," the Sheriff continued.
"Individuals who commit such heinous acts as the burning of these innocent animals, if not caught and held accountable for these acts may go on to commit more serious crimes in the future." Dewey further stated.
Aggravated Animal Cruelty is a felony and carries a penalty of 1 – 5 years and a maximum fine of $15,000 plus restitution. Currently medical costs for the treatment of "Fluffy", "Little Jim" and "Blackie" is approximately $16,000.

ReplyDeleteMost experts believe that people who kill animals are sociopaths. If you think that is funny, you are probably a sociopath, too. Do you not have anything better to do than leave comments like this? Get a life.

ReplyDeletestupid fucking kid
Never trust anyone who does not like cats. People who hate cats have a very dark side to their soul.
ReplyDeletethe first sign of a serial killer is abusing animals. I know the person talking about how this is not a big deal is arrogant and trying to bother people or maybe you yourself abuses animals. Something this affects lives of people because without the love of animals in our lives,alot of people would be alone.They dont care what you look like or how much money you have.Theres not a human in the world like that i guarantee you. Animals make peoples lives better after a stressful day at work and seeing your pet it just makes all the stress of the day minimal.Its disguisting. you can say that you dont like something but the immature approach that you took to adress this issue is inconsiderate. one of the things you should of learned if you were brought up correctly is to keep your comments to yourself if its not appropriate even if your thinking of it. If you come to this website to write stuff like that then you have no life go look up something else. you didnt have to sit here and read this article. Go read a book that will teach you how to be a grownup and psycologically ok.
