In Centerton, Arkansas, a 40-year-old woman has been arrested for shooting a gun into the grass as a warning to a teenager “trying to rape the neighbor’s dog.” Kerrie Lenkerd told local authorities on April 17 she had looked out of her bedroom window and saw a 14-year-old sexually assaulting her neighbor’s dog.
According to KnwaNews, this wasn’t the first time Lenkerd had witnessed the disturbing act. She told Centerton Police she took her 9mm handgun out of her safe and went to confront the teen. When the teen ran away, Lenkerd alleges she fired a shot into the grass to scare him. She then contacted the police; the teen had left his iPad at the scene which authorities seized as proof he had been there. Lenkerd has been charged with aggravated assault and ordered not to have any contact with the teen; her gun has been seized.
The teen, unidentified because of his age, has been charged with two counts of bestiality. According to witnesses who heard the gun shot noise, the teen was seen running away just wearing boxer shorts and a shirt. When interviewed by police, the boy said Lenkerd ordered him to put up his hands as she pointed a gun. He didn’t see her carrying a badge, so he ran away by jumping over the fence and heard the gun shot seconds later.When he arrived home, he lied to his mother before speaking to authorities.
Lenkerd’s attorney defended his client stating she was trying to protect the dog and had been careful not to shoot the teen. She is free on $5,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on June 5.

Lock him up now and get it over with.
Why is it that the law protects a guilty more than the innocent
Shoot, shovel, and shut up.
I agree w u
Can i adopt that advice? Lenkerd is one magnificent woman. She’s got a pair and she uses them for good.
Excellent comment????
I totally agree with you!!
Worthless POS CREEP PUNK KID????
You did good my dear lady next door????
I agree!! Seems they arrested the WRONG person! Little freak needs to be put away NOW
I would have gotten out my cell, turned on the camera/video and shot a nice incriminating video as evidence, and then called the PD. Sick kid really needs some help!
I don’t think the gun was necessary in this incidence, He was running, she had his ipad now she is in trouble for shooting at the pervert! I don’t doubt, after witnessing such and act though, I would like to shoot the sicko. How proud his mother must be!
if she didn’t shoot the gun he would have kept on doing it!!! Bravo to her
He was running when she shot the gun. I don’t think he would have continued the assault when he saw she was there. I have no problem with her shooting into the ground to scare him, I’m just sorry she is facing charges because of it.
I agree.
Good thinking,I would have done the same thing,animal lover.he should have paid the price not her?
Indeed, bravo to this woman who should not be charged with anything! I pray the dog’s owners are grateful and will keep a better eye on their pet — not leave it unattended as obviously there are some very sick-minded people in this world. I hope there is a special place in hell for all who harm/abuse animals — and an very special place in Heaven for all who work tirelessly and unselfishly for the welfare and protection of our animal friends.
If she shot in the grass, dig up the bullet!!
To bad She didn’t Shoot this Perp.
Agree!!
Right in the nuts .. would have been good
Yep.
yep – don’t let this sicko reproduce. too bad his parents did.
I agree! I need her address – want to send her a thank you card 🙂
Lol, good idea
702 SW 8th ST
Bentonville, AR 72716
Yes. She needs a medal, not jail.
Yesss!!????
Good for Her!!!! We need more people like this!!!!!!
my address is not 702 sw 8th st in Bentonville at
Good job Kerrie. You need a reward –not charges.
Yes, John you are 100% right – this punk deserves a bullet. Kerrie Lenkerd is a hero as far as I am concerned – Apparently Centerton, AK authorities have their priorities backwards. THANK YOU KERRIE!
AR – Arkansas
AK – Alaska
Amen! I sure would have
Thank you Kerrie!!
Hope the rapist gets sentenced to the maximal penalty. Hope the lady gets exonerated. She saved the dogs life. Too bad she couldn’t have held him at gunpoint and called law enforcement. She should not be convicted.
Sadly he will probably get a slap on the hands. She will probably be fined. Totally unfair. If she is fined I hope a Go Fund Me is created to help her
She should of shot him right in the ass and his privates, sick ass boy! He’s obviously twisted mentally to even think of such a morbid thing to do. I hope the judge throws the book at him, lock his ass up until he’s legally an adult then transfer him to adult prison. He’s no more then a rapist in the making… the next serial rapist in the making. She did the right thing in my opinion. I will say she has much more control then I do. I’d of beaten him within an inch of his life, shot him directly in the ass then called the police. It’d of been worth the bail money, time spent, and court time. As long as he was off the streets, locked up, and in pain I’d of been partially satisfied!!!
I’ll donate to help her out if there’s a fine because she deserved a medal for her actions
Totally agree with you!
The sad thing is, she’ll probably get worse than so many people who shoot and kill dogs. She didn’t actually shoot anyone, and she was trying to save the dog being raped. What is this world coming to?
Agree! When someone does the right thing they get punished. So unfair.
Good on her she hurt no one and did what she did to protect this poor dog from a sexual deviat, hope this lady gets nothing, hope the pervert is charged vile act sickening and at 14 too
She lost her gun and may do jail time over it. She is being punished. Never tell a cop you shot at somebody.
Sorry, I don’t understand why she was arrested. He’s the criminal, not her. To me she’s a hero!!!!
she is my idol too, sheri! lol. Hope she is cleared of charges! That kid will never be suitable to live in society. He is twisted.
I would have done the same but I would have shot him !!! The laws are not strong enough for there animals no matter where we live here in the U. I am all for this woman she did right I stand behind her 100%…
I don’t feel she should get anything for helping that’s why no one wants too … they turn a blind eye.. make a tough charge so they would think about doing this
If anybody hear about a GOFUNDME page for this lady, please let us know. OR any PETITIONS attempting to help her. THANKS!
This is the most idiotic arrest!!! The kid was seen running in his shorts, left personal item at scene, AND SHE GETS ARRESTED??!?!? She did not shoot the perv….she merely scared the crap out of him – which he apparently needed since his only outlet for sex is defenseless animals. This kid is ill…… put him away and give Kerri her gun back and send her home!!
Let her go, lock him up in a hospital!!!
AND…………HER NEIGHBORS BETTER STAND UP FOR HER!!!!
A 14 yr old RAPING a dog??? Wholly Shit! What is this world coming to?? I agree that she should not be charged with a crime…but the boy?! He needs help and this is probably only a precursor to crimes he will commit in the future! She may have shown the world a future “serial rapist” in the making.
Why does the headline say she SHOOTS TEEN…. the story says she shot at the ground as a warning. It’s misleading.
She should not even have been charged. She didn’t shoot at the pervert, she shot at the ground. The teen needs to be put in prison where he is able to get help for his sickness.
Save all punishment for that teen trying to rape someone”s innocent pet. She could have shot him but SHE DIDN’T. She had witnessed this before from this sicko. She was giving him a warning. So why go after her? WTH?
If there is a fund raiser for this woman for her legal expenses or anything else that can help her, please put it on every social media site so we can contribute.
NOW lets SEE!!! The JUDGE will probably PUT her in Jail for a YEAR!!! and release the Perp WHOSE INTENTIONS WERE WHAT!!!! They SHOULD GIVE the CITIZENS OF THE YEAR AWARE FOR one of DECENT CITIZEN DEFENDING & PREVENTING the SORRID MOLESTION and POSSIBLE MURDER of another INNOCENT DOG in that HELL STATE of ARKANSAS PERVERTS!!!!!
I’d certainly be willing to chip in for her defense. She didn’t shoot the pervert, I don’t know if I would have been that kind!
I would also be willing to chip in for her defence. I commend her for doing what she did!!
Hope her charges are dismissed. You’d go a bit crazy too watching bestiality commited on an innocent animal
He had better be careful the next time won’t be warning shot.
Glad she was there to help the dog give the teen jail and never let him out
Ok so they arrested her and u can been %100 sure this sicko teenager will NOT be punished,most likely a fine with a short period of probation! They need to release his name so the entire town and all who associate with this sicko will know EXACTLY what kind of depraved asshole he is. He will continue to rape animals and maybe move on to a child or defenseless woman because u just CANNOT fix or rehabilitate this kind of behavior,and what scary is the courts KNOW that this will be an issue with this little pos for the rest of his insignificant life! He is well on his way to being a repeat offender of sexual criminal behavior so they might as well reserve a prison cell for him now! So freaking depraved and immoral!
I think it’s bull that she got her gun taken away & got locked up . She should have shot him period. But she didn’t, she wanted to scare him, I don’t see what the problem is besides that boy needs to be LOCKED away for doing such things. His mother needs to teach him better, OBVIOUSLY!!!
If this underage rapist ( the dog can’t give consent) says she said put your hands up,then lies to his mother. Why should he tell the police the truth?
She should of killed the sick fucker and said it was self defense. Serves him right. Way to go lady
Agreed
So because this little PERV is a minor it’s OK for him to do what he did? I say … GOOD for her. She should have shot the little bastard right between the legs!!!!!
D’accord avec vous, pas de pitié pour les barbares et encore moins pour ceux qui se servent de leur âge pour commettrent des crimes.
Sorry, I would have done the same thing ! Creep low life, I wonder what kind of upbringing he had.
This is BULLSHIT! She SHOULD have been given an award!!!
she could have shot his ass If she wanted too.
premediated controll. smart lady. she used a gun and got er done.
and the only thing that died is the secret sexual deviance of a back wood country boy.
good work cleaning up your neighborhood.
I understand very well her intentions were good, but unfortunately even thou we have the right to own guns, state laws are really screwed, you can be charged with unlawful discharge or reckless discharge of a weapon, the penalties vary from jail time hefty fines, to long time probation and more fines. If you live within city limits you cant discharge even on your own property, unless its self defense and even that it has to be a solid proof your life was truly in danger. The laws vary from state to state. I hope this woman has a good lawyer and fights the charges, it really sucks how her good intentions turned against her, and the little pervert will get off and probably sue.
You are AWESOME!!!!! Thank You for saving that poor dog. That little bastard needs to go straight to Prison. If he does this he will turn it on a Person. Sick little BASTARD!!!!
Good for her I am thankful she was there and was able to save the dog from that sicko kid
I have stood up for animals…not something as horrifying as this thank god! I’ve found animal abusers to be cowards, never had any weapon but the look on my face must of said it all. Thank you Kerrie for standing up!
She didn’t shoot at him she shot into the grass to scare him, big difference between the two.
Starts with animals, then he moves to children…..
precisely as I feel. . , if he would rape a dog, Children next.
Shoot his Dick off
DROP THE CHARGES!! THE WRONG PERSON IS STANDING IN THIS MUG SHOT. Who can we write to complain? She’s a HERO!
Well you know what – if the authorities that be would toughen abuse laws; make the punishment fit the crime, perhaps these sickos would think twice.. I guess that’s questionable though ’cause obviously their brains don’t function right to begin with, do they? At any rate, I say kudos to this woman.. I hope she scared the little pervert enough that he won’t try this again..
Set her free. Charge the little asshole. Case closed. Our laws suck so people will just have to take it into their own hands. I’m sick of all the a buse and the person getting away with it.
How is it that this sick youngster was able to continuously get to that dog? Was that poor dog being kept on a chain? Or is it that the poor innocent dog was just so friendly she allowed this stupid little sob to restrain her? Either way I’m glad she let a bullet out and I hope like hell more people started doing this. I think we need to Rally around her even if it means driving to Arkansas and picketing.
what! WHY WAS SHE ARRESTED? THIS MAKES NO SENSE, ZERO SENSE
This lady is a HERO!!! Throw that teenage piece of human garbage down a deep dark hole before he rapes again, like a teenage girl.
She should have shot off his dick, he won’t be raping dogs any more. She probably saved a lot of kids from been sexually abused sick bastard
How many lives are going to have to be affected, devastated and destroyed when this FREAK starts molesting children and committing other acts of violence, because RAPE no matter who the victim is, is an ACT OF VIOLENCE TOWARDS THE VICTIM!!!!!!!!!!!!
That little monster needs to be fixed to he can never have sex with any living being again. This lady needs a good citizen award.
This kid will grow up raping more animals AND people. He will more than likely even resort to killing one or more of his victims. He needs to be locked up and throw away the key. Unfortunately, because of his age, nothing will happen to him. His future victims are the ones who will suffer. He is lucky I didn’t catch him. This woman is a hero, and yes, the dog’s owner(s) need to help her.
I think she is a hero and should get a medal and her charges need to be dropped that poor animal didn’t deserve that .as for that sick perverted kid if he’s that desperate to rape a dog then he would be that desperate to do it to a person that’s a rapist and a serial one at that and just because it happen to a dog and not a person does not mean that he should get away with it and if I. Lived by that lady and that happen to my dog I would stand up for her for helping my dog and that sicko needs help now lock him up before he gets on to something else then a dog .
THE COMMUNITY NEEDS TO STAT A PETITION!!!!! TAKE IT where ALL WHO ARE IN SUPPORT OF THIS LADY DOING JUSTICE FOR THAT LITTLE DOG TO SIGN AND PRESENT TO THE CITY FATHERS & COUNTY COMMISSIONERS!!!!
If someone writes any letters for the Congress then needs to get more signatures to helps her, I’m going to sign it!
Kerrie Lenkerd I applaud you for taking action. I am sure there are so many people who support you that would be willing to chip in to your defense expenses if you start a gofundme account. To the parents of the young man caught in this disgusting act, your son needs serious help and is heading down a very dark path. I pray the gun shot scared some sense it to him.
What absurdity! The legal system is messed up for sure & needs to be overhauled ! She used the gun to warn this rapist! I guess in the US shooting at the rapist would be more acceptable! No wonder the US police never only fire warning shots to scare off back yards dogs they shoot to kill!~
She’s fallen into the “money web” set by the cops, the prosecutors and the judges. Jesus of Nazareth warned about it. As he said, she will not escape now until she has paid “the uttermost farthing” to this gang of thieves and as many of their co-dependent hangers-on as they can get into the revenue stream. Get into any such situation – and you’ll soon find out who the REAL thugs are.
SO RIGHT LAWYERS!!!!! and DEFENSE ATTORNEY”S
Are you kidding??? This woman should be being praised not locked up!! If this little sicko is raping dogs you can bet he’s hurting children or will soon! Wake up! What is wrong with people that they know longer know right from wrong???
The way I see it, she was doing police work. She caught a criminal committing a crime. The criminal should be punished (to the full extent of the law…..attempted rape…animal cruelty….indecent exposure)…..and she should be offered a job with the police department! She should be praised and honored the pervert needs to be locked up! The dog should be rehomed to someone that will love and protect it.
Just like the law to mess it up !!! The boy should be put away the filthy retard !! This woman is a hero and she should be commended not took to court .
[…] Woman arrested for shooting towards teen who was allegedly trying to rape neighbor’s dog – read more here. […]
That teen is scum…she needs a go fund me page. ..i think she is a hero!! She shot the grass not the kid, and she needs atty..wow. poor lady
Kid should pay her bail and atty little creepy fuck
He Is sick I hope his family gets help for him the lady did the correct thing I might have shot him
Death wish for this deranged filth-bag brat,when least expected.Before death pack rape is essential.When this bastard is dead spread,use ashes as fertilizer!!
This lady is a hero and deserves a medal.This brat must die!
Why didn’t she point a camera at him instead of a gun?! The police said they needed evidence – a photo or better, a video, would have been much better to point at him than a gun.

[…] The Second Amendment to the Constitution guarantees citizens of the United States the right to bear arms. but this right doesn’t come without a large measure of responsibility too. In Centerton, Arkansas, Kerrie Lenkerd, 40, saw a 14-year-old sexually assaulting her neighbor’s dog (not the first time either). So, she went outside with her gun and shot into the grass to warn him.He ran and left his iPad at the scene. Lenkerd called the police and was subsequently charged with aggravated assault, had her guns seized, and told not to have further contact with the teen. Witnesses recall seeing the teen run away from the scene in boxer shorts and a T-shirt. Seems to me that Lenkerd used her weapon in a responsible way.Take a look at this womanShe didn’t shoot the teen but did stop him from committing a serious crime. The teen has been charged with two counts of bestiality.Share away, people.[h/t Pet Rescue Report] […]

This woman saved the life of that dog and if this was done before, that dog could be in a lot of pain. She scared him off and the most she should have been given was a warning about the gun. I guess the police are concerned that his mother (oh, she must be so proud of her son the dog rapist) , possibly suing the woman for shooting at her son. That so called kid, knew how to use that appendage between his legs, so give him the punishment he deserves and thank this woman for catching him before he went further. He is a criminal in training. His mother should also thank this woman for bringing her son’s disgusting behavior to her attention too.
THIS WOMAN IS GREAT! SHE IS PROTECTING THE DOG AND GETS ARRESTED BECAUSE HE WAS A POS MINOR. WHAT IS HIS NAME SO THE BASTARD CAN BE EMBARRASSED BUT THEN AGAIN THE SICK SOB IS SO MENTALLY DISTURBED HE HAS NO DAMN SHAME. TOO BAD SHE DIDN’T KILL HIM AND GET AWAY WITH IT. LEAVE KERRIE ALONE SHE DID A GOOD DEED. I HATE ANIMAL RAPIST WOULD WISH SOMEONE WOULD HAVE SHOVED A BROOM UP HIS ASS TILL IT CAME OUT OF HIS MOUTH. THIS IS A USELESS LOW LIFE SCUMBAG WHICH TELLS US WHAT KIND OF FUTURE HE IS HEADING FOR. HOPE EVERYTHING GOES WELL WITH KERRIE. I WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME THING. THIS SCUMBAG SHOULDN’T BE IDENTIFIED BECAUSE OF HIS AGE AND THE ASSHOLE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS DOING. HOPEFULLY HE WILL GET THE SAME SHIT DONE TO HIM BY HIS FELLOW CLASSMATES.
Great job woman. Love you and your attitude.
