Clarksville Police charge Joshuah Williams with Aggravated Cruelty to Animals

Clarksville Police Department - CPDClarksville, TN – On May 2nd, 2017, around 00:24am, Clarksville Police Officer David Moore was in the area of 205 Walnut Street and heard a loud verbal argument coming from inside of a residence.

Officer Moore then saw a white unidentified animal get thrown into a window of the residence and yelp once again.

He went to the residence where the arguing and yelping had came from and contacted a man who was inside, Joshuah Williams. When Officer Moore went inside, he found a small white dog in the rear bedroom which appeared to have an injury to its paw and could barely move.

Base on his investigation, he determined the injury to the dog had been intentional. Joshuah Williams, 30, was taken into custody and booked into the Montgomery County Jail and charged with: Aggravated Cruelty To Animals; Bond: $5,000.

The dog, whose name is Lily, was picked up by animal control last night and is being held in protective custody. Lily was taken to a vet this morning to be checked.
