Tips sought in possible dog-dragging death in Jackson County, sheriff says

The Jackson County Sheriff’s Department is asking for tips in connection with a dog’s death in Vancleave to determine if criminal wrongdoing occurred, Sheriff John Ledbetter said. Sheriff’s deputies found the dog, which appeared to be a black or brown Doberman Pinscher, dead on Kenneth Cole Road near Paige Bayou Road on Halloween. That’s when someone reported that the dog had an orange ratchet strap around its neck and a black and red ratchet strap around its body and appeared to have been dragged down the road behind by a vehicle. “We are still trying to determine if the dog had actually been dragged down the road,” Ledbetter said. The case is currently being investigated as a possible animal cruelty case. The Jackson County Sheriff’s Department is asking the public to call in tips about the dog’s owner and the identity of anyone who may have been involved in the dog’s death. To report information, call the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department at 228-769-3065.
