The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s
Office (TPSO) has arrested three Ponchatoula teenagers in connection with a viral video of animal cruelty.
One 15-year-old boy was arrested on one count of Animal Cruelty. The other two 15-year-old boys were each arrested on one count of Principal to Animal Cruelty.
Earlier today (Saturday, July 27, 2024), the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office was made aware of a video that was circulating on social media showing a male abusing a dog on what appeared to be a hunting trip. It was evident a second individual was recording the crime and a third individual was present as well, neither intervening on the dog’s behalf.
Detectives were able to determine the incident occurred in the Manchac area early in 2023 and were able to determine the three individuals were teenagers from the Ponchatoula area. Warrants were obtained for their arrest and all three were located at their homes.
The dog in the video was also located and assessed. The dog, at this time, was found to be in healthy condition and of a happy disposition.
TPSO detectives have engaged with other agencies for potential additional action as this investigation continues.
Sheriff Gerald Sticker wants to thank the members of the public who brought this incident to our attention through the proper channels and supported our efforts with confidence and patience.
