Today’s #CriminalOfTheDay is 52-year-old Dashong Booker of Bartow, who our deputies arrested & charged with 2 counts of felony animal cruelty & 1 misdemeanor charge. Thanks to an anonymous tip about neglected dogs at her home, our Animal Control folks & Ag Crimes detectives were able to save 2 of the dogs. Another dog was deceased when we got there.

“Our Ag Crimes detectives and Animal Control personnel have seen some pretty awful things, but this is the worst case of animal cruelty they’ve encountered in a very long time. These dedicated men and women are working around the clock restoring health to these two severely neglected dogs. It’s a shame we didn’t get there in time to save them all. We appreciate the anonymous citizen who saw something and said something.” – Grady Judd, Sheriff
