A viral video that appeared to be of a dog being abused led to the arrest of three teens from Ponchatoula.
The video, which showed a man mistreating a dog while on what looked to be a hunting expedition, was discovered on July 27, according to the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office.
It appeared that a third person was also there and that a second person was filming the video, but nobody of them stepped in to save the dog.
After determining that the crime took place in the Manchac region in the early months of 2023, detectives learned that the three people seen in the films were Ponchatoula youths.
All three individuals were discovered at their residences after warrants were secured for their apprehension.
Two additional 15-year-old boys are being charged with one count of principle to animal abuse, while one 15-year-old boy is being charged with one crime of animal cruelty.
Additionally located and appearing to be in good health and happiness was the dog seen in the video.
