UPDATE 8/5/08 - Petition - PLEASE Sign!!

See the UPDATE 8/2 below on the puppy!

As a young woman, Jerrica Agnew, watched from her porch in a Memphis neighborhood, two young men, Vincent Boykin, 20, and Tristan Hataway, 18, doused a puppy with gasoline and set it on fire.

“Vincent he was holding down the dog while Tristan actually set light to the dog and set him on fire.” says Agnew.

The little puppy, a 4 month old shepherd or shepherd mix, struggled, rolling in the grass, trying to put the fire out.

“It was making noise. It rolled around in the grass trying to put itself out. For a minute I thought it was dead.” says Agnew.

Jerrica, 18, and her 16 yr old sister, Jasmine Johnson, rushed over and tried to help the dog, which ran down the street on fire and was rolling in the grass.

“It was yelping and crying,” said Johnson. “They were low-down to do this to that dog.”

Boykin and Tristen were arrested on aggravated animal cruelty and this is not their first time in trouble either. Both have records and Hataway was just released from jail and was bond on charges of aggravated assault and aggravated burglary.

Boykin pleaded guilty to attempted voluntary manslaughter in 2007 for an incident in which he told police he hid in a trash can for hours before shooting a man in the leg.

When reporters when to Hataway’s house, no one was home but they did find a gas can. Next door was the home of Boykin’s mother. She claims her son is innocent and was in the house when the incident took place.

“They knew they weren’t out here. They were not out here. I talked to my other son. My other son said wasn’t nobody out here before and Vincent walked out the house. By him already having a record, police carried him to jail.” says Boykin’s mother.
