FULLY PROSECUTE DARREN LEE WHITE - ARRESTED FOR ANIMAL CRUELTY
On February 24, 2017, Tulsa police arrested Darren Lee White for allegedly chasing down and running over a dog and then beating it to death with a baseball bat. According to the Fox 23 news story, neighbors said White then tried to run down a second dog before returning to continue beating the body of the dead dog.
The correlation is well documented between animal cruelty, elder abuse, and domestic violence. For this reason and others, animal cruelty should always be taken very seriously. Animal cruelty is a felony violation of Oklahoma state law, punishable by up to 5 years in state prison and $5000 in fines PER count.
A growing number of district attorneys in Oklahoma are proactively prosecuting animal cruelty cases because they understand this correlation and the danger abusers pose to both people and animals.
The Oklahoma Alliance for Animals respectfully requests that you fully prosecute Darren Lee Miller to the fullest extent of the law. This is an extremely serious and violent charge.
Please take a strong leadership role in proactively and fully prosecuting animal cruelty cases. Tulsa and Oklahoma voters respectfully request and demand this, and Oklahoma state law provides for it. Thank you.
