A former Canton Detention Officer served several months in jail and paid $30,000 in restitution after he pleaded guilty to 54 counts of animal cruelty in Madison County last year.

Madison County deputies arrested Wesley Keyser and Danielle Wilkinson on October 24, 2024 after they received videos and pictures of starved and deceased dogs. They charged Keyser with no less than 54 counts of animal cruelty and Wilkinson with four counts of animal cruelty - confining animals without providing food and water. The police report provides a glimpse into the horror of their Canton home:
The defendants pleaded guilty to the charges in Madison County Justice Court in June 2025. Madison County Court Judge Lloyd Spivey fined Wilkinson $2,000 ($500 per charge). Since Keyser was in jail for over six months, Judge Spivey gave him credit for time served after he served 139 days in jail after arrest. Keyser paid $30,000 in restitution.
Rocking R Ranch and Rescue filed a rather curious motion to intervene but the Court denied intervention. Apparently the organization wanted to take possession of the horses. Deputies had turned the horses over to Mississippi Horse Rescue. Judge Spivey said the horses would stay where they were.

Kingfish note: The media made a big splash about the arrests but failed to follow up on the story and report how it was adjudicated. Hence the post.

who fucking cares?
you ever see the way foreigners treat animals? I dont really care.
You probably don't, savage.
Gross human beings. They definitely don't need to be out in the general population.
@11:08 why even bother commenting if you really don't care? Seems you do care...
You can tell a lot about a person just by seeing how they treat animals and if they park in handicapped spots.
Regardless, people that abuse or mistreat animals or park in handicapped spaces reserved for those in need are truly scum.
He owes me about $8000 in work.
Off the subject, but I agree with your observation that local news media fail to follow up on the news they report. My wife and I often find ourselves asking each other months after a story breaks, "Whatever happened to that guy," and "How did that story pan out?" Lazy and unprofessional.
Dude, wake up. Media does not exist to inform you, but only to distract you from your own life so you don't actually do anything with it.
I think they don't follow up because that would mostly involve revealing how erroneous their original report was.
People who mistreat animals deserve to be destroyed.
Whatever happened to the case in Oxford where the Peagues guy was arrested on animal cruelty charges?
I have 2 dogs and I love them like they are my children
Is there some sort of convention in law enforcement reports, encouraging reporters to express "inside" as "inside of"?
And while I'm at it, are LEOs (and, in the last few months, newspersons) trained to overpronounce 'A' and 'The'? (as opposed to the way most of us were trained, by our schoolteachers and Sundayschool teachers, when we were reading aloud? "Say 'Ah' and 'Th'/'Thah', except for EMPHASIS! "Aaay", to emphasize that something is singular, and "Theeee", as in "He's one of THEEE Rockefellers!" ")
Formerly, when actors were portraying themselves as barely-literate hicks, struggling to read aloud, they would overpronounce 'A' and 'The'. Suddenly, though, this seems to be encouraged among real-life LEOs and news reporters - maybe even mandated.
11:08- read your Bible. God cares for animals and holds us responsible for their care. And God has your number.
