A bone-chilling case of animal cruelty has rocked the community in Hummingbird Lane in Ville Platte.
A local woman accused a 23-year-old man named Joseph Lane Bergeron of brutally abusing and murdering her 3-month-old puppy.
The woman claims that Joseph, her friend’s boyfriend, was visiting her residence when he got violently angry at the puppy for nipping their son on the finger. During a fit of rage, Joseph punched the puppy and slammed him on the concrete repeatedly, ultimately causing the puppy’s death.
Joseph further threw the dead puppy in the back of his truck and drove off. The police managed to nab Joseph and have charged him with animal cruelty. He was arrested without incident and booked into the Ville Platte City Jail, with a bond set at $500. The woman, however, remains during a state of shock at the loss of her beloved puppy.
At the same time, Captain Lartigue contacted the local department of Ville Platte by dialing 363-1313 anonymously, encouraging citizens to complain about any suspicious or criminal behavior. We hope that Joseph receives an appropriate punishment for his brutal crime.
