Last month I told you the horrific story of two pitbulls that were doused with accelerant, set on fire and seen running down a street in the Dallas, TX neighborhood of Pleasant Grove. Witnesses reported two teens running from the scene. The two dogs, a male and female pitbull, were so severely injured and in such pain that they were euthanized.
Now the teens, 17-year-old Lefferreio Sudds and 17-year-old Jucorey Davis, who allegedly set the dogs on fire have finally been arrested and are facing animal cruelty charges.
“One of these dogs, her face – it was practically burned off. It was just horrific, as bad as it gets,” said Jonnie England, Metroplex Animal Coalition. “They were in indescribable pain.”
“We’re very pleased and relieved that these arrests have been made,” said England. “This is a vicious, violent crime, and those responsible need to be punished for their actions.”
Sudds and Davis have been charged with a State Jail felony, which carries a maximum punishment of two years in prison. The will be tried as adults. Both are being held on $5,000 bond in Dallas’ Lew Sterrett Justice Center.
Seven other pitbulls also at the suspects’ address were removed, some showing signs and injuries consistent with dogfighting, all were euthanized. The dogs, including one 4-month-old puppy, had major health problems and serious wounds. On April 15, Dallas Municipal Judge Michael Acuna ordered the dogs’ ownership be removed from Michael Wilbert, Sudds’ stepfather and that he be responsible for all costs associated. This winner was also arrested arrested on parole violations and other outstanding warrants. Guess we can see where step-son got his lessons?
Can you believe the picture of Lefferreio Sudds above? He’s grinning like he’s proud of himself, of causing such suffering and pain. What the hell is wrong with this kid?! What Kind of a sick thrill must he have gotten out of setting those poor dogs on fire and terrorizing his neighborhood and neighbors? I would so like to wipe that grin off that boy’s face!
Look at the pictures of those poor dogs! Can you even imagine the pain they must have been in? How they must have suffered?
You have to wonder what else this miscreants have done and even scarier, what else are they capable of doing?
Although we know they will most likely wound up with only the usual “slap on the wrist” punishment, these scum seriously need to be locked, away from society. They are a danger now and they will continue to be a danger!
I can’t say what I would like to say……but I can say I hope they burn in hell.
May these rotten little bastards get what they have coming! My only wish is that they would be released in to our care!! Lighter fluid anyone?!?!
I *cough* *cough* LOVE the smirk on the first ones face. I’ll loan you my Bic, Judith.
Set him on fire is right. Burn, you POS, burn. Kerosene is better. Let’s all pay to see him run down the street afire and donate all the money to help our poor babies. The two he set on fire probably didn’t want to fight. God will watch over them now. I just can’t believe there is scum out there like this. Two years is surely not enough time for them. Maybe we will all get lucky and they will be put in with someone that loves dogs. I can only pray for that.
Mr Sudds looks like he is going to have a great future in this world.At least the other puke might feel some remorse .Mr Sudds should be fed to hungry crocodiles , then Mr Davis should get his turn .We are looking at future scum low life
I’ve got my kerosene and torch ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By the way , these “gangstas” will be future stars on America’s most wanted or The first 48
I agree 100%…they will be on AMERICAS MOST WANTED..they are low life scum of the earth bastards that need to be taken out of society…burn these bitches in town square, I will gladly buy a ticket and attend the fire!
It seems to me they should have more charges filed against them. Apparently, they were only charged with the killing of the two dogs they set on fire. Since they had other dogs in their home who showed signs of abuse they should have been charged with cruelty to each animal separately and should have to serve their prison sentences for each charge consecutively, rather than concurrently. The stepfather should also be charged with these crimes because it was his duty to exercise supervision over his stepson. Since he was the homeowner it seems likely that he was a participant in these crimes or at least was involved in dog fighting. I hope the inmates set them all on fire.
Judging by the crime , I am sure the step father is probably no jem .If this happened in my house my mother would have turned me in .I do not mean to sound negative all the time , but I try to look at facts .If I saw abuse , the abuser would be abused , then turned in
Way to go Charlie! You are absolutely correct. They did far more cruelty than they are being charged with. I say throw the book at them, while we watch them in flames! Those pri**’s! Someone needs to wipe that smug look off his ugly mug. I’ll join in on the bonfire! I’ll even bring along some things to help fuel the fire that they have already started with every animal lover here! I remember the picture of that sweet baby after she was burned and cringed at the thought she would never see another day because of these POS’s. By looking at her, you would have thought she could have made it, but I’m sure her pain was beyond belief!
This was a tip of the ice berg , theses little F—- were probably abusing all of them daily .They need a good old fashioned head stomping , if I had 1 week to live they would get it both tomorrow
Terry, please tell me your okay. What did you mean “if I had 1 week to live”? I sure hope you respond to this. You are a fellow voice for our furbabies and they need you. God Bless you and I pray you are alright. Take care….Jessie and Sage
I am fine , thank you , I mean if I was diagnosed with something , I would take down as many of these abusers as I could . I am not a violent person , but I could easily hurt these pukes as well as that idiot who killed that shepherd pup , and that ass— who sexually assaulted his pit bull , we do not need this garbage on our planet .I am from Canada and we do not see the amount of abuse as in the States ,we have our own way of dealing with things away from the law
Oh I am so pleased to hear all is well. You scared me! I understand now what you are saying. Would love to talk to you in more depth re: what you all did in Canada with trash like this. Teach us! Thank you for responding so quickly. I was worried. Glad you’ll still be with us and the pups of the world. If you would like to e-mail me, Deanna has my e-mail address and let her know I gave you permission to have it. Show her this comment. Take care my friend…Jessie and Sage
I will thank you
Terry and Charlie, yes we need to make the judicial system aware that the US has the most animal abuse cases, and try each of these morons on separate charges – not comingled together.
The grin on Sudds (I cannot bear to call him Mr.) makes me want to vomit. He and his partner Davis are in the midst of future careers as criminals. Where the hell do they think it is funny setting dogs afire? Cruel bastards.
I want to say more, but I think everyone else has basically said my thoughts. All of the dogs are resting with God now, and will see all of us animal lovers at Rainbow Bridge. And Terry, even tho I am basically healthy right now, I will be more than happy to show those two dimwits a piece of my mind.
I love the USA and it’s people , but I do see more abuse probably because of more population , as well as this hip hop dog fighting culture .Until Michael Vick came out , most people I know did not believe me about dog fighting.Pit bulls are great , I have rescued two and to think people would fight and abuse them really boils me over. I really do wish them death or torture .It may sound stupid to some , but it is the way I feel ,If these two were killed , how badly would you feel ?
Terry, I am with you on Pittis. Throughout my rescue/transport “career”, I have dealt with many many pits. The worst action they did was kiss me to death. There are so many people in this country that do not understand the needs of a pit. All they want is love, compassion and training – basically like any other dog. The fact that they are a strong breed, morons like Vick take it a step further. I too have known about dog fighting for many many years, and it is positive to see that the judicial system is starting to take notice of what goes on with these beautiful dogs.
I would not feel bad at all if these two scums were killed, and deleted from our society. Not at all.
Thanks Susie , these poor dogs could have had a great life in proper hands .When I look at mine , I see regular dogs that all my neighbors love , get along with other animals and are finally after years, being accepted by people who think all they do is kill .Hopefully dog fighting can be eliminated in the quickest time
Terry, you said the magic words. PROPER HANDS
If pits were treated like people treat their pampered poodles (just an example, and the words fit), pits would not have such a bad rep. I remember when rottis had that reputation, along with dobies. I remember a dobie I had on a transport, and all this guy wanted to do was “lean” on me, and be on top of me – just being able to be close enough to touch me. When I got him to his destination, I sat on the ground with him and hugged him and I got sloppy kisses back. The general public should take heed to what the real dog people have to say about all the different breeds that are supposed to be “mean”.
Hopefully they will get their throats cut while in prison. I think there should be a fund to encourage it as a matter of fact.
These kids need to be locked away for life. There’s no excuse for letting them go free after what they did. The law needs to be more strict regarding animal cruelty. For god’s sake, it’s 2009! Animals deserve better than this. I wish I could say what I really want, but it wouldn’t be appropriate. I just hope they get the punishment they deserve.
I agree with you all, especially Barbara and Dblbasshsong.
Susie and Terry, like both of you, I’ve been around Rottweilers, Dobies, and Pittis….all of the supposedly ‘mean’ breeds and found them to be absolute sweethearts. Never have they acted aggressive toward me, even the ones who were unfamiliar with me.
They were all very affectionate, just like any other dog.
Terry, you are right, these kinds of ‘people’ need to be removed from our planet. And if I were ever terminally ill I would gladly go after them.
Charlie, these dogs never show agression or anything towards us (even the ones who do not know us personally as you say) – they know we are not going to hurt them. It is that sixth sense that is built in their beautiful minds. They most certainly know all we have to offer is love and affection towards them.
My Godmother was over this past weekend. She has always loved smaller breed dogs. My 3 boys know she is not particularly fond of their size, and always try to snuggle up to her. She has told me in the past that she is afraid of them because of their size. Max, the youngest (at 80 lbs), stood next to her, and pulled her arm towards him to be petted. She said “what is he doing?”, and I said “all he wants is a little affection from you” – when she finally petted him, he nuzzled her neck, and my dear Godmother melted and said he is so sweet. Well, the other two saw this, and went and tried to nuzzle her, and she finally started laughing at the 3 boys, calling them “horses” due to their size. My response to her was that they are just big lap dogs. For the first time in my 30+ years of marriage, she went away from my house smiling that my boys are so lovable and affectionate.
My father used to tell me the bigger the dog, the more of a lap dog it will be. Now ain’t that the truth?
That’s a great story Susie!
And yes, I have a 55 and 65 pound lapdogs myself!

Terry! Jessie! Susie! Admin! Anybody!
This is an emergency! Can any of you offer a home to a 5yr. old Pitt Bull? She was turned over to a shelter because her owner died. I’d go get her myself, but the place where I live does’nt allow Pitt Bulls. She is at Town Lake Animal Shelter in Austin, Texas. If you can help call Ellen Jefferson, President of Austin Pets Alive 512-663-8643.
Terry, I will send an email to a couple of nationwide posters in animal rescue this morning when I get to the office. Hopefully a rescue has an opening. We do transport nationwide – so if there is a foster available, this baby will be saved.
Charlie, sent the info out to some rescue friends to send out. I know everyone will do the best they can.
D.
I met to say, please act quickly! She has less than 48 hours! Town Lake is a high kill rate shelter.
Charlie, sorry, I should have posted the note back to you, I should know better than to look at my email without my glasses on!
Charlie, I sent my email out. I will let you know what happens, and if I get any responses.
their evil hearts are as black as their skin. they have no concience or fear- hope they meet a nice man in prison who likes fresh punks. they are just empty space- my dog poop in the back yard & trash has more value than these two worthless useless punks.
I hope these 2 little bastards who did this to these poor dogs suffer just as bad as they do, they really need to instate vigilante justice because I swear I would make people who do things like this really pay for it and not in a good way. Just reading about things like this makes me so sad and breaks my heart, I just cannot beleive there are this many sick people out there who get their jollies beating and setting dogs on fire or any other animal, the world we live in makes my stomach turn
Put the SOB’s out of their misery
Let’s hope that evil comes back to where it’s from. Let what was done to innocent’s be done in full measure to the 2 legged beast’s these 2 are. Perhaps in prison they will be killed and justice will be served at last. The legal system cannot, does not and will not solve this problem. When the murder of innocent animals is finally considered a crime on the same leval as human’s, only then will there be justice for all.
ps. I wish that policewoman had used her taser,blackjack, baton whatever to make sure that grinning POS didn’t breed any more of his kind!
