Lawrence man arrested on animal cruelty charge

October 25, 2012

A 23-year-old Lawrence man was arrested early Wednesday morning at Lawrence Memorial Hospital on a charge of animal cruelty.

Lawrence police spokeswoman Kim Murphree said an anonymous caller reported a dog squealing and lying on the ground in the 800 block of Michigan Street. Animal control officers responded just after 1:30 a.m. and found a yelping dog, which was unable to stand because of a plastic tie, or flex cuff, tied around its back legs.

The dog also did not have any food, water or shelter. Animal control workers removed the plastic tie from the dog, which did not suffer any broken bones, Murphree said.

Police then received a report of a man being treated at LMH for a dog bite. They interviewed the man and arrested him.

The man was booked in Douglas County Jail and released on a $750 bond.

Tie his legs together and leave him by the curb for the trash trucks.

ridikkulus 7 months, 3 weeks ago

I agree. Let a couple of really big dogs drag him over there by some sensitive parts.

Sounds fair to me.

Sick basterds like that often upgrade to assaulting humans.

That's the scary part.

are these comments from the Liberal Lawrence "folks"??? WOW??? What happened to innocent until proven guilty??? More double standard, knee jerk Liberal rhetoric huh?? I bet a Liberal could get away with using the hang word about this guy.

consumer1 7 months, 3 weeks ago

I will admit some of the easiest, but not the best sex I have ever had was with Liberal chicks. Lot of em!!

Sorry, but I don't believe you, ma'am.

Consumer1 is havin' a harder & harder time pickin' a fight . Why he constantly wants to do that is beyond me.

consumer1 7 months, 3 weeks ago

If you think standing up against popular opinion that is wrong, is startnig a fight, I say thanks! But, look at the number of responses of people who don't like it when someone points out their hypocrisy.

meggers 7 months, 3 weeks ago

There is NO valid reason for someone to tie a dog's back legs together so that they are lying helpless, probably in pain, and unable to walk or defend themselves. It doesn't strike me as a rush to judgement to call a person who did such a thing a worthless piece of garbage.

Speakup 7 months, 3 weeks ago

What if we had to received the judgment we dish out to others? Let the paid professionals handle this. This could be his dog and his lame idea of how to punish/obedience train his animal.

there is no inn, or women or childrenocense when ppl. abuse animals

Hepburn 7 months, 3 weeks ago

There is a strong correlation between people who abuse, torture animals and those that are involved in brutality towards humans or are murderers.

Seems like consumer1 thinks that he is the only virtuous person around ascribing all evil to liberals. He is so confused.

consumer1 7 months, 3 weeks ago

WHere is your evidence about the correlation, please don't quote CNN for facts.

Hepburn 7 months, 3 weeks ago

Experience as a prosecutor and defense attorney for 30 years. And, in chatting with psychologists and policemen.

Hepburn 7 months, 3 weeks ago

For your review. http://www.incasa.org/PDF/2011/animal_human_violence.pdf

An interesting survey of studies, including such non-CNN sources as the FBI. Animal abuse is utilized as a key for profiling serial killers and rapists.

Other sources are found by googling.

Armored_One 7 months, 3 weeks ago

Which documented study would you prefer? As a student of psychology, I've read over 20, all coming to much the same conclusion.

consumer1 7 months, 3 weeks ago

Ha ha ha, You guys really crack me up!! This is how you deal with reality isn't it. It is called being in denial. You have two sets of standards. One for yourselves and one for everybody else!! This is too funny, you can't respond to my accusations so you try to call me names and change the subject. This is exactly why people with common sense don't and won't take you seriously. what will you attack about me next? You cannot handle the truth so wrap yourself in bubble wrap, take a hit off the bong and snuggle up into your make believe little world.

Fatty_McButterpants 7 months, 3 weeks ago

Innocent until proven guilty is a courtroom standard, consumer1. Last I checked, this was not a courtroom.

Armored_One 7 months, 3 weeks ago

It might not be a court of law, but it is, in part, the jury pool.

Renaissance 7 months, 3 weeks ago

I would have totally understood if this had been done to a cat.

consumer1 7 months, 3 weeks ago

Ho, again attack the person not the topic

"More double standard, knee jerk Liberal rhetoric huh?"

We learned from an expert.

Sick freak............... string him up

consumer1 7 months, 3 weeks ago

Thanks CGOKU. I feel much better now.

bergerfry 7 months, 3 weeks ago

I called the police Saturday to a dog left in a car at Kansas Speedway. The dog was in the car for at least 5 hours before I made the call. The cops got there and I left so I don't know what became of the situation. Felt good to make that call because I was tempted to commit a felony and just remove the dog and take it home with me. Idiots don't need pets they need other idiots.

consumer1 7 months, 3 weeks ago

Surprise to the above poster's, I am happy you made the call, I have made that call before on several occassions. One time I even had words with the car/pet owner. ( a man ) The people above don't like it when I point out what hypocrits they are. Someone can rape a woman and beat her half to death, but many of the same poster's above are quick to say "Wait for the facts, or innocent until proven guilty".

parrothead8 7 months, 3 weeks ago

I'd like to see your evidence that some of the above "poster's" are quick to say "wait for the facts" when someone is accused of raping and beating a woman. And please don't quote Fox News for facts.

jhawkinsf 7 months, 3 weeks ago

It may have been a crime to take the dog home with you. But, if after having called the police, you, in good faith believed the dog to be in distress, you could have simply broke out the window of the car. At a minimum, it would have guaranteed the owner would suffer some consequence.

lawdog 7 months, 3 weeks ago

I would have made such a big ruckus until Security and/or Police showed up! I think there are enough of us dog lovers who would pitch in for bail out money in this particular case.

rduhrich 7 months, 3 weeks ago

At least the dog wasn't penned in a cage on top of a car for a 10-hour trip. Now that guy should have been arrested.

patkindle 7 months, 3 weeks ago

it is so easy to bait a liberal , that it is hardly even worthwhile

rockchalker52 7 months, 3 weeks ago

Why do you like to?

butterflylvr 7 months, 3 weeks ago

People like this make me sick. Why get an animal if you hate them so much. I can only hope that this....."guy" has a crappy life and get some sort of payback for what he did. I hope that this poor dog gets a new happy home.

shleppy 7 months, 3 weeks ago

more like consumer of #2.

consumer1 7 months, 3 weeks ago

Just more of the same. what a shame, your'e so lame, can't play the game, gotta switch the blame.

blindrabbit 7 months, 3 weeks ago

consumer1; You goin for the record number of lame comments on one subject within a 24 hour period. Not close, not because of the lameness but I'll but Sageie/NancyBoy/TomS would win out on both counts and irrevalence.

townie42 7 months, 3 weeks ago

So did the dog bite him before or after he zip-tied its legs?

oneeye_wilbur 7 months, 3 weeks ago

That is what I wondered. But the dog got the bad end of the deal. The guy only had to post bond and will appear and get fined and be told to not have contact with any animals., maybe?

LMH 7 months, 3 weeks ago

I'm all for punishment fitting the crime, even if the guy was bitten. He probably did something to aggravate the dog to begin with. So instead of putting him in jail and then letting him go, tie HIS feet and hands up, and leave him on the side of the road to fend for himself. Same thing goes for anyone who physically or sexually abuses a child or an older, vulnerable person. Treat them the same as their victims were treated...
