Hour one is the Rankin County dog mess. A woman named Carly pulls a pit and a Shih Tzu mix out of the road in Pelahatchie, posts them, then finds the owner, TeeDy WMS, already has an animal-cruelty case: a neighborhood cat trapped, held, and filmed getting mauled on Facebook Live in 2024. Misdemeanor plea. $500 fine. Suspended sentence. A Pelahatchie officer shows up at Carly’s county house on a personal cell, the chief gets on the phone about a warrant, and the owner is brought to the door. She takes the pit and offers to leave the other one. Carly calls in with the timeline, the cameras, and the part that actually bothers Clay: a convicted animal abuser now knows where the kids live. Creston stays on the property-law side. Clay stays on the “you don’t escort that woman to somebody’s house” side.
