A Beckley, West Virginia man was caught on video abusing his dog on Friday. The Raleigh County Sheriff’s Office immediately responded ending in animal cruelty charges and the dog having been safely rescued.
According to the Raleigh County Sheriff’s Office Facebook, Jerry Hommey III, 35, was caught on camera kicking his dog, dragging it by the neck, picking it up again, throwing the defenseless animal to the ground and then dragging it some more.
“A male subject was observed by a citizen abusing a dog. The dog was kicked, drug by its neck, picked up and thrown to the ground and drug some more before it was hooked to a chain. The incident was captured on video, and the video was provided to the Sheriff’s Office. The male subject was identified as Jerry Hommey III.”
A warrant was later issued for his arrest. In addition, Hommey has other outstanding warrants for other crimes.
The dog is currently in the care of the Raleigh County Animal Control.

Drowning puppy saved by unexpected hero
Thx citizen for reporting cruelty and hopefully the man will be punished by the Law & God – never let him forget
O Jeremy Hommey III – I am praying that YOU become a victim during your jail stay – since there are other outstanding warrants for your useless ass – may you be there for quite awhile – and may your punk white butt become the object of every predatory inmate there. I hope that the judge in this case has a backbone and will give this miserable subhuman hunk of garbage some serious jail time and that Hommey the Homily get a massive dose of street justice.
Please do not let this man have the dog back, please.
I like to put a rope around his neck and tie it to my bumper and drive around I hope somebody kills you fucking creep
Inbred savage SOS deserves to reap the same treatment. Perhaps the fucker will wind up in prison and become someone’s bitch who will use his Hershey highway to exact revenge.
I hope this dog gets a loving home! This man needs to stay in prison permanently!
What an AS*hole !!!
I Hope you will get what you exactly deserve ASAP you F*cking POS !!!
EVIL AND COWARD SCUMBAG! SO GLAD THERE WAS AN ANGEL WATCHING, AND HOPE THIS GUY WILL NEVER ALLOWED TO OWN AN ANIMAL FOR THE REST OF HIS WORTHLESS LIFE!
Other warrants? Why don’t they go pick him up and throw him in jail? Somebody needs to be doing their job! I’m glad the dog is no longer with him.
Never allow him to own any pet(s) for the remainder of his life. Do to him what he did to this dog.
JUSTICE SYSTEM…WAKE UP!!!!
THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. THE CRUELTY & ABUSE OF ANIMALS HAS BECOME WAY TO COMMON!! IT IS A PROVEN FACT. SUB HUMANS LIKE THIS, IT ISN’T THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED & IT WILL NOT STOP. THEY OFTEN TURN TO CHILDREN OR ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL WHO SEEMS DEFENSELESS. AT LEAST 1 YEAR…..IN JAIL….1YR THERAPY….1 YR COMMUNITY SERVICE & STEEP FINES!!
Obviously this was not the first time this SOB abused his dog. Thankful the dog has been taken away from him.
