A misdemeanor animal abuse charge was filed Monday in Jasper County Circuit Court against a Joplin man who allegedly starved his dog and then dumped it.
A $350 cash-only bond was set for Patrick J. Morgan (DOB 1996). The arrest warrant was served on Morgan today, according to online court records.
From the probable cause statement:
Patrick failed to provide adequate care by dumping his dog in an industrial park located at 3517 N. Red Iron Drive, which resulted in the death of Snoop.
It was also reported that Snoop was abused at his residence located in Joplin, Missouri. {A witness} advised that she had observed Snoop tethered to the door of the apartment. {She} advised that Snoop was wet and cold. {She} also stated that her daughter (age 10) had observed Patrick fail to feed Snoop and strike him as punishment several times,
Upon my arrival, I was notified by Cintas staff that a Snoop was dumped in a field to the north of their facility.
Staff advised that Snoop was malnourished and couldn't stand. Upon observing Snoop, Snoop appeared to be starving with his ribs, spine, skull and legs having no meaty flesh on them.
When picking Snoop up to put in my patrol vehicle my fingers could feel through the webbing of his rib cage and into his chest and abdominal cavity.
I was provided video footage from {another witness} showing Patrick {and someone who does not appear to have been charged) removing the dog from their apartment located in Joplin, Missouri.
The Humane Society indicated that Snoop had to be put on pain medicine due to the pain that he was in during their care. While in the Humane Society's care, Snoop was a pronounced deceased on March 19 of 2026.
The case was investigated by the Webb City Police Department.

If they would do this to an innocent animal, they would also do this to an innocent child. Lack of compassion and a conscience. Absolutely disgusting that all his bond was only $350. Missouri is greatly lacking in effective leadership and legislation to prevent this and other ridiculous preventative actions.
Prison is much to good for them , do the same to them I’d help! Sick basterds
If we cared as much about Abortion as we do animals they would be illegal…
Patrick J. Morgan, is a sick and worthless human being, I only wish he could receive the same treatment that he dished out to this poor animal.
basterd?
It's spelled basturd!
Totally agree. The equating of soulless animal life with human life is troubling.
How does this not rise to the level of Felony? $350?????? A municipal bond is higher than that! What a joke by the courts!
This is horrible these two worthless and disgusting individuals responsible for this - Patrick Morgan and Bianca Crouch, who adopted "Snoop the Dog" and did not take care of him and left Snoop, starving and barely alive, behind a business in the Webb City industrial park, “Snoop”, was left with nothing but a dog bed and later died - What kind of heartless, pathic, sick, humans could do this - these two do not deserve to be upright and walking - by looking at their mug shots - Bianca Crouch, definitively did not miss any meals. If you have animals - TAKE CARE OF THEM!
I hope that their landlord kicks them to the street and they are never allowed to own another animal - this was a disgusting and a savage thing to do to an animal and these two, Patrick Morgan and Bianca Crouch should never be allowed to forget this heinous act of cruelty.
That's right!
What is wrong with these people?
Did they think they were running one of the OraNGE oRangutAn's detention centers for people with skin color?
721 Why are you bringing politics into this it has nothing to do with politics, it is about two people who abused a poor dog to the point of death, lets just stay on topic.
913 has never met my dog. Pity.
