DALE COUNTY AND WIREGRASS: There has been graphic videos circulating on FACEBOOK of a young man who is alleged to have shot and abused some animals, to include dogs and cats.
RSN has had multiple inquiries concerning this video. RSN has made the decision not to post this video because of the gruesome nature of it. There have been multiple comments that something needs to be done to the person alleged to have committed this awful acts towards the animals.
Dale County Sheriff Mason Bynum issued a statement concerning this video on Monday. Then more videos surfaced this morning.
Let me assure you with one million percent assurance, Dale County Sheriff Mason Bynum and 33rd Judicial Circuit District Attorney Kirke Adams are on top of this video. Some reported incidents have occurred in different jurisdictions. And when the criminal investigators get all of the “facts” together, the appropriate legal action will be taken in the “appropriate” jurisdiction where the alleged incidents took place. But it takes some time making sure each stone is turned over and the “facts” are documented and put together.
But all jurisdictions that something of this nature might have taken place, will take swift action. But law enforcement has to deal in “facts” and FACEBOOK posts are not “facts.” So those who are outraged and think nothing is being done, I can tell you, again with one million percent assurance, the investigation is underway.
Also, the Alabama Legislature passed legislation several years ago that some information can not be released on people arrested at a certain age. A member of the Alabama Legislature’s child was arrested and name published. And, if not mistaken, they were found not guilty, but the articles were still in the internet airwaves. So that legislator was able to pass legislation preventing some information from being published. Not sure this case will fit that law, but there might be some information law enforcement are prohibited by law from releasing.
But I can tell you, law enforcement has taken this serious and there is an active investigation underway and in several jurisdictions.
