Melrose Waste Pile Who Killed Dog With Rock And Buried It In Backyard Was A Winchester Middle School Teacher Accused Of Beating His Ex-Wife In 2014

 

WHDH: A Melrose man is facing animal cruelty charges after allegedly killing his dog in the backyard of his home Friday night, police say. Officers responding to a report of animal cruelty on Mount Zion Road on Saturday learned that a neighbor, later identified as 44-year-old Adam Crook, allegedly dragged his dog from his home into the backyard, where he then struck the dog in the head with a large rock multiple times, killing it, then took a shovel from his home and buried it. Police executed a search warrant to locate and exhume the dog from the grave.

“This suspect’s alleged actions are absolutely reprehensible and inexcusable,” Melrose Police Chief Michael Lyle said. “I’m grateful for the excellent investigative work of Melrose Police Sgt. Brian Ladner, Detective Sgt. Paul McNamara, Officer Pamela Daye, and Lt. Alan Borgal of the Animal Rescue League that resulted in this arrest.”

“It’s reprehensible, inexcusable on so many levels,” said Mike Defina of the Animal Rescue League. “This really callous and cruel act of violence against a defenseless animal does not go unanswered, that is the priority of the investigation right now,”

Crook was arrested without incident on Sunday and subsequently released on his personal recognizance. He is expected to be arraigned Nov. 26 in the Malden District Court.

I’m not gonna lie, I don’t know what to say with blogs like this one. My role is here to produce hot takes. Well what OTHER TAKE is there than, “this guy is a deranged psychopath who’s probably gonna kill a human being next?” Because that’s what people who kill their dogs in the backyard eventually do.

But wait, there’s a twist…..

 

Yup, that’s right – Poopie the Pooch Punter was a 6th grade science teacher at McCall Middle School in Winchester up until at least 2018, according to their website.

His classroom website is still archived here. How does a lunatic like this become a teacher in a ritzy town like Winchester? It doesn’t exactly sound like he was keeping a low profile there either.

And did I mention that his loony old man was whining on Facebook five years ago about how he was getting a raw deal in custody dispute, and how his ex-wife “falsely accused” him of assault?

Look who chimed in before he took down his Facebook page today…

Yea, who would ever think that a guy who takes is dog into the backyard, murders it with a rock, and then buries it in the backyard, would be capable of assaulting his ex-wife? Here’s an idea Dave – maybe your son is a piece of shit because you enabled him, blamed his victims, and made a littany of excuses for when he was a kid all the way into adulthood. Maybe.

All the other deadbeats were jealous of his victory in court.

Oh, and Dad appears to have worked for a law firm in Maine too.

But he’s still trying to figure out how to use this damn Facebook machine!

OK, it’s hard to be mad at him. But his son is a piece of shit and I hope he rots for what he did to that poor dog.

    Mr. Crook displays two of the three characteristics in a person that are indefensible and should be punishable by death. He abuses children. He abuses animals. (I’d bet the family home that he has abused elderly and just hasn’t been caught). He has ZERO worth. He should be slowly and painfully eliminated.
    Bashing him in the head with a rock is too quick. Throw a rope around him and tie it to my bumper. A quick yank to pull him down, then proceed just fast enough so he can’t get back on his feet and just slow enough so that the flesh is scraped from his worthless bones…………….a quarter mile of pavement at a time.
    People who abuse defenseless elderly, children and *animals* deserve no mercy.

            To all the retarded, redneck, backward, lower than the lowest bottom feeder low lives on here who are saying that Derby, Adam Crook’s dog was his property, that they were on his property when he decided to drag her out of the house, hog tie her and smash her in the head over 20 times with a large rock, and that he did nothing wrong, here’s a brief lesson for you (although being as imbecilic as you all are with those few brain cells rattling around in your heads you will struggle to understand anything!): A pet is NOT property. Property is anything that is not sentient, i.e. a house, a car, a tv, a computer. A sentient (living) being, i.e. a child, a pet, has rights and there are laws to protect it from cruelty and abuse of any kind. Therefore when a person abuses their child or pet authorities / agencies and other individuals can intervene and consequently the abuser can be prosecuted. The child / pet can be removed for their safety. Adam Crook GROSSLY ABUSED his dog, Derby, and caused her massive suffering in brutally killing her. There is NO excuse whatsoever for what he put her through. This pathetic excuse for a man has a history of abuse of people ( his wife and student(s) at a school he briefly taught at before they fired him, etc) and lack of anger control. He clearly is someone who needs to be removed from society and should – at the very least – be behind bars for life. Failing that, eye for an eye punishment would be entirely fitting.

          Hypocrites, you’re a moron. This was far more than a “dog dying”, as you so pathetically refer to it. Adam Crook dragged his dog, Derby, into his yard, hog tied her and then smashed her over the head 20+ times, proceeding to bury her in the yard. What part of that do you – and your fellow hillbilly, mentally hampered bottom feeders – fail to realise is gross animal abuse? Nobody has the right to abuse their pet / children / spouse / partner / any other living being. Crook has a history of abuse to his ex wife, at least one student at a school he unbelievably was allowed to briefly work at (before he, rightly, was fired), and no doubt more victims have suffered at his hands too – and he is, unsurprisingly, ‘known to the police ‘ – so he is a repulsive excuse for a human being who thought he could get away with brutally ending Derby’s life too. Luckily, there were witnesses who reported him and now he’ll pay the price. He should be looking over his shoulder at all times from now on.

    It’s his dog he can do whatever the fuck he wants to it. There is a reason we are called dog OWNERS and not dog parents. He bought and owns that dog just like a TV. If he wants to smash his tv with a rock and bury it….it is his prerogative. Fucking pansies, what’s next a book burning party for Old Yeller.

People who can do this to animals, usually graduate to doing it to people eventually. And you say you love animals. Smh. Your just as sick.

        November 26, 2019 at 9:50 pm

        What makes this more upsetting is that if the dog was sick and needed to be put down, just about any vet would do it for the dog even if the owner couldn’t pay just to put the animal out of misery. This was not about money. He wanted to do this. And that’s scary cause what else you think he is capable of.
