Why was this guy still working there after being charged the first time? Do you honestly think he would stop the cruelty that he did to these animals?? Come on! This piece of crap gets off with a slap on the hand. He will always do wrong as long as he's working there. That's the problem with Memphis. No one does what is right! They get away scott free and always will. No justification here. Just a slap on the hand and go about their business. It's ashame to be a citizen of Memphis.

An animal abuser is the first sign of a deviant. Most serial criminals (rapist, murders) start out abusing animals. Gas this guy before he evolves ..

Typical specimen.

Thank you ABC24 and Jeni Diprizio for reporting these stories of abuse from Memphis Animal Services. Our city administration should be run out of town for allowing these deviant types to work for the city. People who torture animals will commit violent crimes against humans. Lock him up and clean house!!!

Does this guy seriously think that being on time, being in the union, and "working hard" ---AT CHOKING INNOCENT ANIMALS TO DEATH..is going to get him out of being guilty?? I personally don't understand the hold up at putting this guy in jail at this point? He has proved himself a danger to society because he is able to torture innocent creatures and not feel any remorse. I thank ABC News 24 for continually reporting updates on this case. And I hope we can keep getting updates from this news station.

There is no remorse show by this evil individual. It is scary that he is allowed to walk about society posing as a "human". He should be caged where he cannot cause further harm to innocents.....

Human garbage like this should receive the same treatment they gave those animals. We don't need humans like this roaming the planet causing pain and suffering for innocent animals. All animals abusers should be culled. I see no problem with that at all because I care more for four legged animals than two legged trash.

Thank you yet again, ABC24 and Jeni Diprizio, for keeping this story in the news. The City of Memphis government has got to stop protecting deviant behavior, and this man has proven himself to be a violent, heartless person capable of violence to people as well as defenseless anmals. It's dispicable. The fact that he is presenting himself as the victim is laughable at best, and I sincerely hope he is punished.

"They are trying to put these charges on me because they want me to get fired a long time ago but because I'm in the union it was hard for the mayor and the city to get rid of me." Caught on videotape by a licensed investigative police officer acting on assignment, your cohorts confessed to their (identical) crimes and received virtually NO punishment: Are you really that obtuse, to not recognize that the judge will simply give you a "pass" if you ADMIT you're a heinous, reprehensible, abhorrent malefactor? Any union that would seek to defend the actions of - and retain employment for - such a criminal, should be disbanded and charged as an accomplice to his crimes! Memphis: FIRE EVERYONE EVEN REMOTELY CONNECTED TO YOUR ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES, AND INSTITUTE MANDATORY JOB QUALIFICATION OF EMPATHY, COMPASSION, AND A DEMONSTRABLE HISTORY OF COMPANION ANIMAL ADVOCACY AS AN OBLIGATORY QUALIFICATION FOR THOSE YOUR HIRE TO STAFF YOUR FACILITIES! There are countless ardent companion animal advocates who would love to staff your facilities in such a manner, were you to declare mandatory "NO KILL" mandates for all your facilities: WORK WITH RESCUE ORGANIZATIONS to move your unwanted, abused, and abandoned companions across the country to localities that would welcome them with open arms! We move thousands of animals across the nation on a daily basis from south-to-north, east-to-west - by air and/or ground transport - through incredibly dedicated, compassionate volunteers who dedicated their free time and resources to saving "man's best friends": Wake up, and work with these dedicated individuals and organizations, and STOP THE KILLING AND ABUSE!

If he would commit these violent and torturous acts on a companion animal, he would also hurt a wife, girlfriend, or child. We cannot allow people in our community to get away with such deviant behavior. Hope he gets the max sentence allowed.
