Throughout the extensive investigation into the animal cruelty case that followed Haughton Police officers being dispatched to the 400 Block of Union Texas Rd. back in May, officers successfully identified and apprehended an additional suspect, Rebecca McCasland Campbell McDowell.

 

McDowell, a business associate of Massara and previous owner of the property where the search warrant was executed on May 23, was found to be extensively involved with Massara and the recovered dogs. McDowell was arrested on 13 counts of animal cruelty and is currently being held on a $455,008 bond at the Bossier Maximum Facility. Officer Cutrer has dedicated numerous hours to this case and continues to do so.

 

This case remains under investigation.

 

Chief Gibson, along with LaMa Animal Rescue, would like to extend sincere gratitude to all who responded to the need to aid these dogs. The Haughton Police Department delivered donations from generous individuals and organizations nationwide to LaMa Animal Rescue. HPD continues to collaborate closely with LaMa Animal Rescue in this case.
