January 2026 – Kristopher Fyffe (38) was arrested on animal cruelty charges after a witness spotted him allegedly wrapping his pup’s mug in the thick tape. Authorities said Fyffe allegedly crammed five canines into filthy crates in the back of a van. One of the animals was later euthanized due to aggression, while Fyffe surrendered another of the dogs to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. A hearing will determine who takes legal ownership of the remaining dogs, which are being cared for by the ASPCA. Fyffe pleaded not guilty. The case is ongoing.
