John Hornaday, 25, of Indiana, is accused of multiple counts of FELONY ANIMAL CRUELTY as well as mutliple counts of FELONY DOMESTIC ABUSE.
Please help ensure that he receives the maximum penalty on ALL charges by contacting the courts involved and signing this petition.
In mid-December, 2006, a young, female pit bull was found stabbed and bleeding in an apartment complex on the Johnson/Marion County line, just south of Indianapolis. The dog's wounds were severe, including a laceration that appeared to have been an attempt to slit the dog's throat. Two very kind people found the dog, covered in blood and in shock, and delivered her to a nearby vet who was able to stop the bleeding and save this little dog's life.
Volunteers immediately began canvassing the neighborhood in search of the person or people responsible for attacking this dog. Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana offered a reward for information. Law enforcement continued the investigation until a man accused of the crime was arrested.
John Wayne Hornaday is currently in the Marion County jail, facing multiple charges in two counties of domestic abuse, battery, criminal confinement, felony intimidation as well as felony animal cruelty. Hornaday is accused of beating, kicking, torturing and stabbing the young dog and then leaving her for dead behind the apartment dumpster. Hornaday is also accused of then using the same knife with which he stabbed the dog to threaten the lives of his wife and infant child.
