CONVICTED (2021) | Jordan David Odom, born 13 November 1996, most recently of Hungerford Road, Crewe CW1 6HG – repeatedly threw his dog and kicked her
The RSPCA was called to investigate after Cheshire Police received reports of a Staffy being beaten on July 2, 2020. A witness stated they saw Jordan Odom picking up the dog, named Angel, by the scruff of her neck and throwing her away from him.
Odom, of no fixed address but with links to Altrincham, then called Angel back and repeated the process twice more, before kicking her. After being examined by vets, Angel was found to have scleral haemorrhages to her eye, consistent with head trauma.
A blood test also showed high levels of enzymes that are released when muscles are traumatised.
Odom was found guilty of two animal welfare offences.
RSPCA inspector Leanne Cragg, who investigated the case, said: “Aggressive behaviour towards animals is never acceptable and I’m glad that Angel can now be found a loving new home.
“I am extremely grateful to the witness for their bravery in coming forward and reporting this to us, it’s only because of them that we were able to help Angel.”
Sentencing: 18-month community order with 20 rehabilitation days and 140 hours of unpaid work; £2,495 in costs and charges. Disqualified from keeping all animals for five years (expires May 2026) but can appeal after three.
Absolutely Heart Breaking.
