Rusty Eugene Lewark was arrested on 2/22/10 for brutally killing two dogs. He was denied bail even though he is a stay at home dad for three children ages 4 thru 7.
Lewark led police to the dumpster where he had disposed of the two pit bull dogs. Lewark told police he beat one dog to death with an ax. When that dog was dead he then put a noose around the other dog's neck and beat that dog while the dog was hanging.
Judge Majeed stated during the initial appearance on 2/23 that this crime was beyond beastly. It was also mentioned that Lewark's history of arson coupled with animal cruelty are signs that Lewark may be dangerous. Therefore, bail was denied.
When we have more documenting evidence it will be added to the Lewark case file.
