A FedEx driver in Harnett County, North Carolina, is facing animal cruelty charges after being accused of stealing a French Bulldog during a delivery and leaving it to die in his truck.
The Harnett County Sheriff’s Office received a report about a stolen dog on July 7. The investigation revealed that on July 3, FedEx driver Kimani Joehon Marshall, 44, from Fayetteville, was delivering a package in the area of U.S. 421 South when he allegedly stole the dog named Tori.
Marshall continued his delivery route, and investigators believe the dog died due to heat-related issues from the high temperatures inside the truck. The dog was valued at $5,500, according to court documents.
Marshall turned himself in on July 22 and was charged with larceny of a dog, possession of stolen property, and cruelty to animals. He is currently being held in the Harnett County Detention Center on a $50,000 secured bond.
