A video of what appeared to be a man whipping a dog appeared on social media yesterday afternoon with what some described as a fishing rod at The Pine Valley Mobile Home Village in Lufkin, Texas.
The video, which I will not post here, was very difficult to watch. The dog was being dragged with a leash, whipped repeatedly and placed in a large kennel next to a trailer.
There were public outcries after the video hit Facebook to take out the dogs and arrest the man. Less than 24 hours later, the Angelina County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) has succeeded.
Arrest made in case of a video of a man mistreating a dog
Lorenzo Johnson, of Lufkin, was arrested around 11 a.m. on Wednesday, June 22, 2022. He has been charged with animal cruelty.
The three dogs in the video, which were all the dogs on his property, have been confiscated. Now the dogs will be detained pending a court hearing where a final decision will be made according to the ACSO.
Although no official report was made, the video was brought to the attention of law enforcement. From there, ASCO was able to validate the video and identify the suspect.
