TikTok livestreamer Brandon Honea has been charged with aggravated animal cruelty after a video circulating on-line appeared to indicate him repeatedly slamming an opossum towards a porch.

The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office instructed TMZ that Honea was arrested on Wednesday, 11 November. The workplace stated the incident was first reported on 9 November and that it acquired a number of calls in regards to the alleged abuse.

The footage seems to indicate Honea grabbing the opossum by its tail and placing it towards the porch whereas a girl might be heard pleading with him to cease. Honea is accused of ki!lling the animal.

Honea, who works as a taxidermist, reportedly claimed the opossum had been okay!lling his chickens and stated the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency had instructed him he had performed nothing mistaken.

Investigator Cheyenne Gonzalez instructed TMZ that the sheriff’s workplace couldn’t affirm what the wildlife company had instructed Honea. She stated deputies performed their very own investigation and filed the cost independently of the company.

Fayetteville Police Chief Bennie Jennings Jr. instructed TMZ that his division contacted the wildlife company on Tuesday morning and was ready to help with its investigation.
