Deputies went to Jerdo's home after being tipped off about the treatment of the dog and his drug use. Jerdo was not home initially and had several heavy items blocking entry to his door. The suspect then arrived at the house and resisted arrest, headbutting a Deputy in the process.
Deputies were able to unscrew one of the dog's paws and had to lift the other paw off the screw. Jerdo faces charges for animal cruelty, possession with intent to distribute meth and resisting arrest.
