WATCH: Brevard County Sheriff’s Office Fugitive Units Tracks Down Two Suspects in Georgia for Animal Cruelty After Starving Dog to Death
BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) Fugitive Unit successfully tracked down and arrested two suspects in Georgia after they abandoned their dog, leading to its tragic death.
Frederick Tindall and Christopher Tindall were taken into custody after authorities discovered their involvement in the severe neglect of their pet, Rosie.
The dog suffered from extreme starvation, along with multiple infections, including skin and ear infections. Despite medical intervention, Rosie ultimately succumbed to her injuries.
Following the crime, both suspects attempted to evade justice by fleeing to Georgia. However, swift coordination between the BCSO Fugitive Unit and Georgia law enforcement led to their arrest.
Both men now face serious charges, including Aggravated Animal Cruelty and Unlawful Confinement-Abandonment with a $3,000 bond.
The case highlights the dedication of BCSO in ensuring that animal cruelty does not go unpunished and that offenders are held accountable, no matter where they try to hide.
Sheriff Wayne Ivey and his team continue to emphasize their commitment to protecting animals and ensuring justice for victims like Rosie. The public is encouraged to report any cases of animal abuse to local authorities to prevent further suffering.
