Tamnika Spencer was out on her Deli on the 7th of August, 2007 when saw 41-year-old Eric Jackson driving by in his Crown Victoria.
That he was driving by wasn’t unusual. The fact that a dog was tied to his bumper was.
Apparently she had a problem with the dog, an Akita, being dragged behind Eric Jackson’s car bumper, while howling and crying in pain.
Her co-worker, Tabatha Solomon, heard the commotion and came running outside. She saw the man stop his car and roll down his window.
Not being one to mind her own business, she yelled at the man, screaming out, “Hey you’re dragging a dog!”
A reasonable question, to which Eric Jackson replied, “Is it dead yet?”
Police were called and the dog was left for dead by Mr. Jackson, who sped off.
Eric Jackson’s wife, Deloria Carter, claims her husband wasn’t trying to harm the Akita. He’d never do that, she said.
Deloria Carter claimed that Jackson was just trying to protect the kids in the neighborhood by moving the dog to a different location after it had attacked their family’s dog and scared their kids.
The dog survived the experience and is recuperating in the local humane society.
Eric Jackson was arrested by police for animal cruelty.
My personal advice? Take a plea bargain and avoid a jury trial, Mr. Jackson.
Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

Well, we can only hope he gets a little time behind bars. The story sounds dumb to me. Why would you do this in town and let other people see it? Seriously, do people not think?!?
