SABINE COUNTY MAN ARRESTED FOR DUMPING DOG IN NORTH NEWTON COUNTY

On Monday, May 25, 2026, at 8:47 a.m., the Newton County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to 702 Private Road 5022 (Scrappin’ Valley Lodge) in reference to animal cruelty.

At the scene, deputies obtained video evidence of Damon Lance Borel pulling up to the gate of Scrappin’ Valley Lodge, releasing a small dog from the cab of his pickup truck, and subsequently driving off, leaving the dog behind.

Newton County deputies presented the evidence to a Newton County Justice of the Peace, who issued a warrant for Borel’s arrest.

Due to Borel residing in Sabine County, the Sabine County Sheriff’s Office located and arrested him and transported him to the Sabine County Jail for Cruelty to Non-Livestock Animals-MA.

Sheriff Havard would like to express his appreciation to Sheriff Griffith and the Sabine County Sheriff’s Office for their assistance in this case.

Sheriff Havard would also like to remind residents that cruelty to animals will not be tolerated in Newton County. If anyone is caught dumping animals, charges will be filed and those responsible will be held accountable.
