Wanted Person in Polk County for Animal Cruelty and Cruelty to Children

In our latest addition to our Wanted Person section is Andrew Phillip Compton.
Mr. Compton has warrants stemming from an incident where he allegedly choked a small brown dog. After this, Mr. Compton allegedly threw the dog to a German Shepard (that was aggressive to other dogs). The German Shepard proceeded to attack & maul the small dog until it was badly injured.
A small child witnessed this incident, so that is where the Cruelty to Children charge comes from.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call Polk County E-911 at (770) 748-3400.
