Joe Bruner
Maxwell "Joe" Bruner was accused of killing a cat by baiting his dogs to attack and maim it at
Bruner Middle School
- the school bearing his family name!
Okaloosa County dropped the animal cruelty charges against Bruner on
February 1, 2010 because the witness Leslie Leone recanted her statement - she was "too high" to remember...
However, Joe Bruner was found GUILTY and sentenced to 11 months 29 days for FELONY BATTERY in September 2010. Bruner is finally being held accountable for his actions!
Here is the story printed by the Northwest Florida Daily News about the dropped charges
