Police Say Man Baked Live Puppy In His Oven To Quiet Barking

May 22, 2025

An Atmore man has been charged with aggravated cruelty to animals for allegedly baking a live puppy in his oven after a deceased chihuahua puppy, severely burned, was discovered at his residence.

On Monday, an Atmore Police Department officer responded to a call regarding an injured animal at a home in the 100 block of Cruitt Drive. Upon arrival, the officer found the badly burned remains of a chihuahua puppy lying on the driveway.

Investigators learned that James Allen Williamson allegedly intentionally placed the puppy in an oven due to what he considered excessive barking. A witness reported overhearing Williamson threatened to put the puppy in the oven if it did not stop barking. Shortly thereafter, the witness heard a dog yelping in pain but did not realize the gravity of the situation at the time.

“Evidence was discovered in the oven and in the kitchen that corroborated the statements,” APD Sgt. Darrell McMann said.

    There’s no fix for this individual. Society has no tolerance for this type of evil as it shouldn’t and they’re willing to spend 100’s of thousands for a lifetime of confinement, but to provide affordable mental and physical assistance for all those in our community in need just isn’t doable. Sounds about right.

    This guy has mental issues and been in and out of the system. As a society we have failed him. As Christians we have failed him and still failing him. WWJD, tell onenthing Jesus wouldn’t do was be on here putting him down and judging him. Jesus would trying to help him. BLESSED BE

    Why is society hell bent to keep trash like this alive? We better wake up and permanently get rid of scum like him – who wouldn’t be afraid to have an encounter with him ? he will walk free again after a slap on the hand by the courts.

    Can we test him out in my oven? I’d love to see how long he yelps for… Time to clean it :)

    Yes, this guy is sick, but those who want to bake him alive are no less sick if not sicker. They are eager to torture others to death and will be happy to do it; all they need is a pointing finger: bad guy, get him!

    what a truly sick piece of trash. The dog was being a dog. If you don’t like the dog, give them away. You can’t fix this type if sick person.

    I hope they put him in a hot oven. Sick excuse for a human being.

    This guy deserves the same thing to happen to him as punishment.

    Beyond sick and evil. If he will do that to a sweet little puppy, he will do worse to a human.

  13. SW on May 22nd, 2025 9:37 am

    Good grief’

    People beating dogs with hammers?
    People baking dogs to death in ovens?

    What kind of sociopaths do we have around here?

    One sorry human being. Prison for him and lots of it.

  15. JTV on May 22nd, 2025 8:46 am

    We live amongst a bunch of unstable people, yet nothing will happen to them. This one should burn in the electric chair.

  16. Sedition on May 22nd, 2025 8:31 am

    I think we all know what his punishment should be.
    Probably a good idea to keep that vest on him in the meantime.

  17. Madfurmama on May 22nd, 2025 8:29 am

    How?? Why?? I don’t understand the level of EVIL in the world today. This breaks my heart into a million pieces. I hope they tear him apart in jail!!!

    There aren’t words or justice that will fit.

  19. AB on May 22nd, 2025 8:16 am

    What a real sicko! This guy needs an oven himself, fry him a little in the chair!
    Poor little puppy, just for barking. Glad it wasn’t a baby crying!

    Many humans are EXTREMELY sick. May Christ’s return be soon.

    There is NO punishment bad enough that it should not be considered for this truly evil person.
    With this being something he can do no one is safe with him. NO ONE.
    As a society we need to realize that people who will commit cruelty to animals should be kept away from society because they will eventually be violent with the vulnerable like the young or elderly.
