Clifford Burd-100 block of Chatford Drive, Palmetto Estates-neglect-https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18pDYQXh7m/


By Sunshine Findley April 12, 2025

On the above date at approximately 10:03 am I met with AC 242 at the Glynn County Humane society in reference to an emaciated dog that was recovered from [100 BLOCK] Chatford Dr; Palmetto Estates.

Coastal getaways in Glynn CountyAc 242 began to explain that she was called out a few weeks ago by [WITNESS #1] in reference to a Pitbull and five puppies that were extremely mal-nourished. AC 242 explained that [WITNESS #1] noticed the dogs and their condition, which prompted her to contact animal control about the situation. According to [WITNESS #1], Clifford Burd left his Pitbull at his grandmothers house approximately six months ago and has been coming by routinely to feed the dog, but has been absent from doing so for about a week now. AC 242 explained that when she arrived, the Pitbull was extremely skinny and was chained up to a runner. Ac 242 brought the Pitbull into the room office and I observed the Pitbull, now named Angelina, formerly Hennessey. Angelina, now receiving adequate care, was still very skinny upon observation. The body camera from AC 242, shows that Angelina’s condition was much worse than what I was currently seeing at this time. In AC 242’s body worn camera, Angelina’s bones were very visible and her hair was starting to fall out at her spine.

AC 242 stated that she then took the dogs into county care, along with a small brown Dotson that the family stated belonged to Clifford, however the Dachshund appeared to be okay according to her observation. I asked AC 242 how much Angelina weighed when she was brought in, she replied, “38 pounds.” She then told me that for a dog of Angelina’s size, she should weigh around 50 pounds. AC 242 expressed concern to me stating that Clifford’s mother ([REDACTED]) and grandmother had knowledge of the dog being on the property and did not do anything about it. AC 242 explained that on her body camera, she observed [WITNESS #1] calling Clifford. Clifford told [WITNESS #1] over the phone that the reason he has not been there to feed the dogs was because, “He didn’t even have the money to feed his kids, so he didn’t feed the dogs.”


I again asked AC 242 to confirm how long Clifford was gone from the residence and she stated, “Two days to about a week, according to his family.” She also confirmed that Clifford no longer lives there and the residence belongs to his grandmother. She then stated that he has left the dog there for roughly 6 months. AC 242 stated that the [WITNESS #1] was visiting her grandmother and saw the dog in the back, posted it to Facebook and then called 911.

After speaking with AC 242 I spoke with [WITNESS #2], fiancée of Clifford. I asked [WITNESS #2] to walk me through the ordeal surrounding the dogs and why they are at Chatford Drive. [WITNESS #2] stated that her and Clifford recently moved and that Clifford has been keeping the dogs and puppies at his grandmothers house. She stated that Clifford has had his brother to feed the animals and take care of them. I asked [WITNESS #2] where they lived at and she stated, “[60 BLOCK] Mary’s Drive.” [WITNESS #2] then asked if Clifford was going to be arrested. I replied, stating that we were simply doing a follow up to determine who has been watching the dogs because someone was concerned about them. [WITNESS #2] stated that she would have Clifford call us immediately. I then asked [WITNESS #2] if the dogs were Clifford’s and how long he has had them. [WITNESS #2] stated that they have had the dog for a little over a year, as Angelina was a baby-shower gift that was supposed to be her daughters present. [WITNESS #2] then stated that she had a seizure about two weeks ago, but confirmed that she has them all the time and that Clifford didn’t have any reason to be with her for nearly two weeks straight.

Shortly after speaking with [WITNESS #2], Clifford called. Clifford was asked to explain his current situation regarding Angelina and her puppies. Clifford began by stating that the place that he is staying at “Won’t allow em.” He also stated, “My grandma said I could leabe them there as long as I came and, you know, check up on ’em and everything.” Clifford explained that the dogs were fed every day and that when his “”old lady” was having seizures he asked his mom and grandmother to feed them. He followed up, claiming that “They would never feed my dog and would just take my dog food and feed their dogs with it.” I asked how long the dogs have been there, and he replied “They’ve been over there for about a year.” When asked how he knew they weren’t feeding Angelina he stated something along the lines of “I noticed a couple of months ago when she started getting skinny.” He then stated that his dog, Hennessey, had worms and that was why she was losing weight. Therefore, Clifford claims that he did not want to give her worm medicine because it could interfere with her (Hennessey’s) pregnancy. He stated that he tried to continue after she had the puppies, but couldn’t afford to help her. I then asked if it was a situation where he was only able to take care of the kids and not the dog. He replied, stating that he is making bottom dollar and living paycheck to paycheck. When I asked again to confirm if my previous question was true, he replied, “I knew I couldn’t really take care of it.”


Clifford still continued to state that Hennessey had worms and he was trying to get her weight back up. I stated that worms would not cause weight loss so extreme that her ribs are showing, Clifford disagreed, stating that the worms eat off her nutrients. He stated that he has documentation to prove that the doctor contributed the weight loss to the worms and stated that he would bring it to the Glynn County Humane Society. He stated that he was already $2000 into the dog’s vet bills and that he basically did not have the money to help her. I then ask, “So you weren’t able to adequately provide for her (Hennessey)?” Clifford replied “Yeah, but eventually the worms started getting too bad.” I then followed up, asking Clifford why he didn’t surrender the dog if she was sick and he was unable to take care o her. Clifford explained that he did not do that because he did not want the dog to be “put down.”

Coastal getaways in Glynn CountyI then explained the seriousness of the situation, sking if he knew she was struggling why did he believe it was better for her to stay outside on a runner to suffer. He stated that he has ,”Tried everything and no one in my family wants to help.” He then re-stated that he is living paycheck to paycheck and tried to ask his parents to feed the dogs, but “They can’t.” Clifford then said, “I know it ain’t their responsibility you know, when I am struggling myself, they can at least help me with something and not just sit there and cuss me out, beat around the bush and do drugs and everything else.”

Clifford called several minutes later, stating that the vet will release his vet records and he will bring them to the Glynn County Animal Control on todays date, 07/10/2024.

An axon evidence link has been sent to AC 242 in reference to photo and video taken during the initial incident that occurred on or around 06/26/2024. All interactions were recorded on Axon Video and have been uploaded to Axon Evidence.

A warrant will be issued for Clifford Burd for Cruelty to Animals, as Clifford caused unjustifiable suffering through omission of providing adequate food and medical care; all resulting in Angelina becoming mal-nourished and weighing 12 pounds under healthy weight when she was recovered by Glynn County Animal Services.

After being declined, she told Amy Hoehne that she is going to the store today and getting the cats. She is French, and speaks with an accent, which could be a helpful clue if she calls/arrives anywhere. My own experience with her: tried to come into the room. She told me "I want Slash and Muffin (cats she wanted to adopt)", so I told her I wasn't letting people in because it's late. She said she wants to see them, and I said no again. She went to the cashier and asked her strange questions and tried to give her candy, and tried to do the same to my sister walking around the store. She has been arrested 4 times, and the most recent arrest is due to criminal trespass and unlawful conduct when in contact with 911. She is once again attempting to adopt cats from Furkids. Googling her name will give you her mugshots and arrest history .  Reporter verified

Please be as thorough as possible. Be sure to provide date of the offence if available.: This woman told us twice that she would surrender the kitten back to us because it was simply being a kitten & was "too hyper" She never came in to surrender her and then asked if she can exchange her, which we obviously did not permit. Once we told her we wouldn't exchange the kitten for another, she said she would try to make it work. A few weeks later called for medical history since the kitten continued to be too hyper and she wanted to put her on medication to chill her out which we were completely against. She was angry that we were telling her what to do since she paid $300 for the cat which is clearly ridiculous. Unfortunately, we couldn't do anything about this since there werent clear signs of abuse but in our eyes this was abuse. Months later we have been trying to contact her to get the cat spayed, she finally picked up the phone told me we needed to stop bothering her since she has her own vet but I informed her that the state mandates us to have it done by a certain time and she was upset and said she would call me back. She called me back and told me some bogus story of how the kitten got out and she didn't want to tell me because the last time she spoke to someone they were rude to her. I have no doubt in my mind that this woman purposely let this beautiful kitten out due to her just behaving as a kitten. She is a terrible human being, did not even bother to inform us the kitten went missing because in my eyes, she was the one responsible Reporter verified

Offender Name James Michael Duncan Offender E-mail none listed Offender Phone Number none listed Offenders Last Known Address Iron Gate subdivision, Bulloch County Georgia Supporting Evidence - arrest records Details of the offence here Warrants filed against a K9 handler and dog trainer arrested by the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office shed more light on why the K9 deputy is facing animal cruelty charges. James Michael Duncan was arrested on January 27 on eight counts of misdemeanor Cruelty to Animals. Duncan’s arrest was not connected to his employment at the Candler County Sheriff’s Office, but a review of his POST file indicates this was not his first run-in with the law. Animal cruelty becomes a felony if a person maliciously causes the death of an animal, maliciously causes harm to the extent that the animal is dismembered or has a body part rendered useless, maliciously tortures an animal and subjects them to prolonged or severe pain, a person poisons an animal with malice, or when a person withholds food, water, sanitary conditions and the like and it also results in the death or serious disfiguration of the animal. The felony offense is punishable by one to five years in prison and up to $15,000 in fines. Warrants Filed Against Duncan Each of the warrants outline that Duncan was in control of the animals at the time of the offense – listed as January 22, 2026 – at a home in the Iron Gate subdivision. Public records indicate the home is not owned by Duncan. The warrants also state that Duncan deprived the animals of adequate food, water, sanitary conditions, or ventilation, as outlined in the misdemeanor code section – OCGA 16-12-4(b). Each warrant lists a separate animal located during the investigation, including one German Shepherd mix, a Rottweiler mix, three German Shepherds, and three Plott Hounds. Each of the animals were removed from the premises by the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office and/or Bulloch County Animal Control. Duncan was booked into the Bulloch County Jail and released the same day on $10,000 bond, as is standard with misdemeanor offenses. The case will be adjudicated in Bulloch County State Court and Duncan’s scheduled to appear in court in mid-March. As of publishing, Duncan had no listed attorney. The charges stem from Duncan’s private venture and not his work with the Candler County Sheriff’s Office. Since 2019, Duncan has operated a private dog training company – Southern Edge K9 – which operated out of a different property in Bulloch County. Records with the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office show 2024 as the last year the company was registered with the state before it was administratively dissolved. Until 2024, the business listed Duncan as the CEO and Joey Coty as the business CFO. In 2024, Coty was removed from the business filings. The Google business listing now shows the business as ‘permanently closed.’ All social media accounts with Southern Edge K9 were deleted shortly before Duncan’s arrest, though tags of the business page on Facebook and social media remain and show his tenure of work in various counties. Terminations and POST Disciplinary Action According to records from the Georgia Peace Officer Standards & Training Council (POST), Duncan obtained his POST certification in 2000 and has worked in law enforcement off and on since that time. He’s been employed by the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office, the Millen Police Department in Jenkins County, the Wadley Police Department in Jefferson County, the Evans County Sheriff’s Office, the Screven County Sheriff’s Office, and, most recently, the Candler County Sheriff’s Office. Resigned in Lieu of Termination from the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office POST records show Duncan worked for the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office from 2001 to 2003. After a 22 month hiatus, Duncan was hired by the Millen Police Department where he worked for four months until he was hired by the Wadley Police Department in April 2005. Duncan was employed with Wadley for ten months. Latest Employment POST records show that Duncan was out of law enforcement for approximately thirteen years. In May 2024, he was hired by Candler County as a ‘Reserve Officer.’ After his arrest, the Candler County Sheriff’s Office said Dunan had been “suspended pending the outcome.” As seen in The Georgia Virtue: https://www.thegeorgiavirtue.com/local-news-south-georgia/warrants-shed-light-on-details-of-k9-deputy-charged-with-animal-cruelty/ Submitted by a verified reporter
