Former Sheriff’s Deputy Charged with Animal Cruelty | Roanoke News
Description
A former sheriff’s deputy in Henry County is facing animal cruelty charges after a dog he owned was found with a collar so deeply embedded in its neck it caused injury—and dangerously underweight. The pup, a husky, is now recovering in Ohio with adoption hopes, while Tatum resigned from his position amid an internal investigation. Charged by Virginia State Police and released on bond, he awaits court. The Sheriff praised the community’s commitment to animal welfare and thanked law enforcement for their role in holding accountability. This case raises serious questions about authority, responsibility, and the hope for a better life for the rescued pup.
