Target: Jacqueline Sartoris, District Attorney of Cumberland County, ME
Goal: Ensure appropriate legal consequences for the individual allegedly responsible for the death of a dog due to reckless driving and animal cruelty.
An incident in Westbrook, Maine has raised serious concerns regarding animal welfare and public safety, following a crash that resulted in the tragic death of a small dog. Allegedly, Brandon Michael Gross was operating his pickup truck erratically while under the influence of substances when he crashed into the back of a semi-trailer. Witnesses expressed alarm and say the truck drove off the roadway, leading to speculation that the driver might have been experiencing a medical emergency. This reportedly led to a catastrophic outcome where a defenseless dog was grievously injured and subsequently succumbed to injuries, prompting outrage within the community.
The incident began when a concerned caller alerted 911 dispatchers about the erratic driving of Gross’s pickup truck, which was reportedly seen nearly colliding with other vehicles and police cruisers before ultimately crashing. Despite Police efforts to stop the vehicle, Gross allegedly fled, illustrating a blatant disregard for public safety. The injuries reportedly sustained by the dog reflect a disturbing level of negligence and cruelty. Gross has been charged with several offenses, including aggravated cruelty to animals alongside driving violations.
If Gross is indeed found guilty, appropriate punishment should be imposed to reflect the grave nature of these alleged offenses. The demand is clear: justice for the animal’s tragic death and accountability for the alleged perpetrator’s conduct.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Sartoris,
The recent tragic incident involving Brandon Michael Gross, who allegedly fled police and crashed his truck, resulting in the death of a small dog, demands urgent attention. Reports indicate that Gross was operating his vehicle erratically prior to the crash, potentially under the influence of substances. The grievous injuries reportedly sustained by the dog, which ultimately led to its death after being taken for emergency treatment, paint a harrowing picture.
Gross’s actions alleged, which included ignoring police attempts to stop his vehicle, highlight an alarming behavior that should not be tolerated. Aggravated cruelty to animals and reckless driving with such severe ramifications warrant serious consequences.
It is imperative that the prosecution takes this matter seriously and pursues the fullest extent of the law against Gross to ensure that accountability is achieved. The demand is for justice for the tragically lost dog and for safeguarding the community against future risks posed by similar reckless behavior.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
