Three Charged in Attempted Stun Gun Puppy Robbery

Three people accused of using stun gun to steal acquaintance's dog.

 

Three people have been charged in an Aug. 30 incident in which a stun gun was used as a weapon in an attempt to steal a puppy belonging to an acquaintance, according to police.

At around 5:55 p.m., a 23-year-old woman who lives on the 3800 block of McDowell Lane was outside with her puppy when she was approached by a man and two women who attempted to take her pet, police said.

One of the suspects produced a stun gun, but the weapon was not used on the victim, according to police.

The suspects fled the scene when the victim resisted, but later returned and were arrested, police said.

Charged with armed robbery were Cameron Elliott Wells, 22, of Brookeville, Md.; Jessica Vanessa Jackson, 21, of the 600 block of Bridgeview Rd. in Cherry Hill; and India Andria Hazelwood, 23, of the 3800 block of McDowell Lane.

Note: This article has been edited to corrrect Jessica Jackson's address.

Try Bridgeview Rd.,Cherry Hill, Baltimore City 21225, not Bridgefield or Brookeville.

You're correct, Chuck. That's Bridgeview. The state identified the address as in Brooklyn, but in looking at the map it appears that you are correct that it is located in Cherry Hill. Firefighters know their way around, that's for sure.

I've been to Brookeville, Md. They are not into puppy robbing there.

Let me take a wild guess...the puppy is a Pit Bull. About the only dogs people on McDowell Lane own are Pit Bulls. The only type of dogs people from Cherry Hill would bother stealing are Pit Bulls. For my entertainment...any details on that.

I did ask the police about the breed of dog. No information at this moment.

Could you update the article or respond to the question of breed if it becomes available? I know it's not really important, but it helps confirm or dispel my generalizations.

They all look pretty defiant. Must be used to being arrested and know nothing will end up happening for punishment.

I bet it's not. We've gotten a lot of reports of stolen small breed dogs. A small breed puppy can command hundreds of dollars, even a grand, when sold. Pits are usually easy to come by, even free, not something that most robbers would bother stealing.

I am no supporter of President Obama (one should at least have enough respect to use his title), but making comments like these about his family is beyond moronic.

"Let me take a wild guess...the puppy is a Pit Bull."

My thoughts exactly. More of the reverse evolutionary crowd.

More Nol Pross cases for the perps. Seems breaking the law and being charged with firearm laws and assaults don;t mean what they used to.

Mr. Cameron's first documented offense was recorded 3 months after his 18th birthday and he has acquired quite a track record with the Maryland court system. He is referred to as "defendant" as often as he is referred to by his given birth name. Though not seeing the word "guilty" accompanying his case findings, I'm sure that he wasn't just sitting on his porch when all these arrests happened to him. I saw a video on Youtube not long ago that shows a young man swerving deliberately and wildly down a Saudi Arabian highway for thrills. The street had quite a few pedestrians walking on the roadside. The driver lost control and killed three bystanders when he rolled over them. He was forced over to the side by the other bystanders, and he attempted to run, but was caught quite quickly by police. The town cleric soon pulled up and made the motorist drop to his knees and the cleric lopped his head of with one swing. Is it that Saudi's see the major fallacies in our criminal justice system and avoid it at all together, so as to remove the bad guys from society permanently.

You mean Mr. Cameron's first documented offense as an adult was recorded 3 months after his 18th birthday. It is possible, maybe, that he may have had some juvenile offenses which are not part of the public record

Evets, I get these fits of political correctness sometimes. Yes, it is possible that he had many juvenile offenses. He more than likely has had many, but as you know, we can't mention that. It may hurt someone's feelings. Look at the mug on this guy. Look at the anger in his face. This guy is pure aggression to the bone. I'm sure that his juvey record has filled a few file cabinets. I'm sure many therapists have tried to intervene. And I'm sure none of it did a bit of good. This guy will end up killing someone one day, no doubt- and hopefully put in jail for life. Let's just hope that the murder victim is another thug and that he does it soon, so that he can't rack up a list of other assault victims beforehand.

It is sad that someone can't walk around with a pet without someone attempting to steal it. When I was a teen in Annapolis, many years ago, I was coming home with a new German Shepherd puppy and a gang tried to take him, but I resisted, and the dog fought for me too. The gang ran off. I am glad they caught this current group. Now police will know who to look for if it was to happen again in that area. I wish people had sense enough not to take something not theirs, but in some areas, that may be too much to hope for.

Although I have not looked them up on the Md Judiciary Case Search yet, I'll bet that all of their previous cases were in that lovely, low-crime area that we know as Baltimore City. You know, Patricia Jessamy made a statement just before she was thown out of office by the voters that "...I am not going to put any more African-American men in jail..." during her watch. Well, after years of allowing this trash to walk, this is the result.

All people with tattoos on their necks are not criminals or undesirables, but a disproportionate number of criminals and undesirables have tattoos on their necks.
Is that profiling? Is that wrong? If a person like this walked up behind you at an ATM would you feel safer than if a man with dress shoes and sport shirt?

The tattoo on the neck really reduces the chances of climbing the corporate ladder of success. Once you make the conscious decision to put a tattoo on your neck or face area you have just relegated your job prospects to warehouse work or no work at all.

"or no work at all"

We wish. It means more neglected children and mothers on the taxpayer or at the expense of the judicial and law enforcement agencies again funded by the workers and responsible.

The tattoo on the neck is a great thing for the corporate world. It is a great indicator to the interviewing employer that the perspective employee doesn't have a single brain cell in his gray matter. Without the idiot indicator on his/ her neck the employer may mistakenly hire the person to only find out later that he wasted his time and energy on the perspective employee. Since the idiot himself is too stupid to realize that manual labor is all that he is qualified for, the interviewer will know right of the bat.

Unfortunately, dogs in the Baltimore area are often stolen to use as 'bait' dogs (or whatever the term is) for underground dog fights. They collect/steal dogs, keep them in cages in abandoned rowhomes and are used for their fighting dogs as practice and thus tearing them up into pieces. Sick and sad... and it isn't often talked about but it is more common than most realize.

P.S. I'm not necessarily suggesting that the people who tried to steal this puppy were going to use it for dog fighting -- another poster who mentioned the fact that some breeds command a high price when sold also has a great point. I know about the 'bait' dogs used for fighting because by some (very unfortunate and sickening) miracle, two of my dogs that were stolen and later found -- injured and left for dead in an alley -- by a rescue organization who scanned their microchips. (My dogs were stolen right out of our yard here in Glen Arm/horse country area -- not some inner city crime-infested area.) They told me that they see this situation happen all too often. Months later, I had a long conversation with a city police officer who confirmed just how often they find and bust these underground dog fighting rings and sadly, even they admit that they discover most by accident and most of these rings never get found or busted.
