An Army veteran was thrown behind bars Tuesday for allegedly tying her PTSD therapy dog to a tree and shooting him five times at close range — killing the poor pup for no apparent reason while a soldier filmed it.
...
Court documents obtained by the Fayetteville Observer describe how she teamed up with her boyfriend, Jarren Heng, 25, for the seemingly random killing earlier this month.
The couple allegedly led the white and gray pit bull to a wooded area before tying him to a tree and taking his life. ... ultimately was shot five times with a rifle as Rollins and Heng, who is still enlisted and stationed at Fort Bragg, took turns filming him.
“Let me hit him once,” Heng can be heard saying in the video.
Throughout the disturbing clip, he and Rollins both laugh and joke about the dog’s brutal death ...

I thought it couldn’t get worse.
I was wrong.
When someone like you CANNOT see the truth than there's NO sense in explaining what you're unable to comprehend.
The dog belonged to her *husband*, and she and her partner in adultery did this and posted it to torture the soon-be-ex-husband.
You really trying to justify tying a therapy dog to a tree and opening fire on it?
really?
lol
okay then
just wow.
“It was one of God’s creatures. Pit Bulls have fighting tendencies, but they only become dangerous without proper ownership. They can be affectionate, loyal and gentle.
These scumbags deserve heavy jail terms and I hope they live with guilt for the rest of their lives. Cruelty of this natuare cannot be excused because of the breed.”
Exactly. This horrendous, tragic story makes me really HATE people.
There is no excuse for this brutality. Anyone who claims Pit Bulls should be slaughtered just because they are Pit Bulls is ignorant beyond belief. A relative of mine owns several Pits and they are very tame and sweet.
I wish someone would tie both of these subhumans to a tree and brutally beat and shoot them. I hate animal abusers.
Imagine, doing that to a poor, sweet therapy dog. People suck.
Thanks for digging it up. Here's another go at the formatting ...
Justice For Huey·Wednesday, April 26, 2017
The stories all over the internet call the dog Cam, but his actual name is Huey. He was re-named Camboui by Matt Dyer’s estranged wife Marinna Rollins, because “it rhymed with Huey.” She called him Cam for short. This is not his name and this article will not be calling him by the name the woman who killed him gave him, without permission of his actual owner.
Matt Dyer and his estranged wife Marinna Rollins separated in September of 2015. At the time, they had 2 cats together. Because they were a reminder of his wife and failed marriage, he returned the cats to the woman they got them from, who accepted them back and agreed to find them a home together, as they were attached to each other. He then looked into finding his own pet, as a companion during his separation that he could start over fresh with. Enter Huey, a 2 year old male pitbull who had been abandoned by his former owner. On January 7, 2016 he adopted Huey with his friends Bridget Carter and Josh Carlson. 12 days after getting Huey, he got orders to Korea. Bridget could not take Huey, and Josh was a manager at a Hibachi restaurant and moved into an apartment rented to him by his employer, where he could not have pets.
Matt’s dad went into the hospital that same month, and his estranged wife Marinna reached out to him about it. They began talking and being friendly towards each other again. At that point, Matt had arranged for a friend in Maine to take Huey. The friend however had a dog already, and there was concern that Huey would not get along with the friend’s dog. He was very friendly and loving with people, loved children, but was skittish with other animals. Marinna quickly took to Huey, and asked if she could watch him while Matt was in Korea. Thinking it would be a good thing for Marinna as she had been having having emotional issues and diagnosed with PTSD, he agreed.
His orders to Korea were unaccompanied orders, meaning if he wanted to bring Huey, he had to also bring his estranged wife and agree to 2 years, “accompanied.” At the time they were separated and Marinna was dating another man named Hunter. So an accompanied 2 year tour was not feasible. Hunter adored Huey and Matt felt that he was in good hands while deployed. He left in March of 2016 for Korea, 2 months after adopting Huey.
Initially, Marinna sent him lots of updates on Huey and appeared to be taking very good care of him with the help of her boyfriend Hunter. During the day, a friend of Matt’s named Duane would take him out for potty breaks and walks while Marinna was at work.
In September of 2016, Marinna informed Matt that she changed Huey’s name and his microchip, and that she got a doctor’s note saying he was an ESA (Emotional Support Dog), allegedly because she otherwise could not have a dog at her apartment. Matt told her that he was not her dog, that he did not give him to her, and that he expected his dog back when he returned from Korea as she was only supposed to be watching him while he was overseas.
Marinna was discharged from the military in December of 2016 and according to Matt, fell into drinking heavily and drugs. She met Jarren Heng, her co-accomplice in the murder of Huey, when he delivered pizza to her house one drunken night in December. She broke up with her boyfriend who had been supportive of her and Huey, and began seeing Jarren. Jarren quickly moved in with Marinna. He was hostile to Huey, allegedly hated the dog and wouldn’t let him out of his cage when friends visited.
Matt returned from Korea on March 1st and took 23 days of leave to Maine, where he is originally from. In mid March, a personal tragedy with a close friend extended Matt’s leave another 6 days. On March 29, he returned to Fayetteville, North Carolina. He couch surfed while finding an apartment. He reached out to Marinna, who refused to return the dog to him, saying she was attached to him and wanted to keep him. He found a place to live and moved in. Allegedly Jarren Heng would not allow Matt to talk to Marinna or see his dog. 2 weeks ago, he met with Marinna to take her on base to modify her TriCare health care (As they were still married), and he inquired as to how Huey was doing. Marinna then said that they were sick of him, that Jarren hates him, and asked if he wants him back. Matt asked her why she didn’t say this when he moved back, as he wanted him but was now in a place that didn’t allow dogs. Matt began asking friends if they could take the dog, but was unable to find anyone who could. Sunday, April 16 he asked her if she had found a place for him, as he saw a facebook post by Marinna stating that they had spent their last day with him and had “found him a better place.” She told him she found a “center” that accepted him.
On Monday, April 24 around noon, Marinna called Matt. She was inebriated and asked if he could pick her up and take her to jail as there was a warrant out for her. She told him that she had got in a fight. Matt agrees and goes to Marinna’s apartment, where she is extremely drunk. He goes to the bathroom, and while there he hears Marinna on the phone with Jarren. He can make out that they’re talking about Huey. He returns from the bathroom and asks if something happened with Huey, and she responds yes and then proceeds to tell him in graphic detail what actually happened to Huey. We will not go into it, as it can be seen from the video widely available. According to Matt, she became hysterical and violent, falling into a table, and then grabbing a chair and throwing it at the wall. He alleges that she took a razor and tried to cut herself. She then ran out of the house and to a neighbors. Matt says that he gave chase, and caught up to her and tried to calm her down. He mouthed to a passerby who watched the incident to call 911. He then was able to get her to return to her house, where the police showed up and took her to the hospital.
She was arrested on Tuesday for the warrant for Huey’s death.
There has been much speculation that Matt Dyer was neglectful in leaving his dog with Marinna, but as anyone former military (myself included) can attest, these issues are common and happen on a moments notice when orders come through. At the time, Marinna was still active duty and had not begun her downward spiral with drugs and alcohol and was in a stable relationship. She kept Matt’s dog from him when he returned, and rather than take him to a shelter, which she alleged she had done, she plotted with Jarren to kill him. Matt and Josh Carlson both allege that Huey was in good health, contrary to the claims that he was sick and they were putting him out of his misery. The dog’s remains have not been found yet and an autopsy will show the truth in this allegation.
RIP Huey, you were a good boy and you did not deserve this.
It could still get worse.
Those with the frozen souls could continue to try and justify it.
Let’s watch...
They were bred to fight bulls and other animals in a pit. That’s reality. You may be confusing them with bulldogs.
Thank you, Cynwoody.
I’m in the middle of trying to fight back a muscle spasm induced migraine and just not up for a whole lot of typing.
Bless you for fixing it.
:)
Bizarre. The article doesn’t say what the traumatic event was in Korea that forced Rollins to return, only that she was dramatically different.
She is right age for schizophrenia to show up.
In your august wisdom, I reckon you are aware that there is no such thing as a “pit bull”, really.
They were originally Staffordshire Terriers [both American and original English] and were created solely for the purpose of seizing and holding dangerous livestock.
The very shape of their face is a classic case of form following function.
The short muzzle and undershot jaw allows them to breathe freely whilst clamped onto the aforementioned raging livestock.
*Later*, humans beings the sadistic, brutal, fallen beings that they are, became bored in their new wealth, and began fighting many of God’s creatures against one another for “sport”.
This happened during that evil, twisted time we know as the Victorian Era, where little children toiled in cruel factories, and the concept of “a clockwork, orange”, was first spawned from the sexually repressed minds of men so numb to the suffering of others, that they believed that the screams of agony that came forth from the animals they practiced vivisection upon, were just “automatic reactions”, like so much mindless, inevitable ticking of a clock.
And the dirty little politically incorrect truth, that we all dance around here, ever so deftly, is, that one societal subset, aka, politely, “thugs” are solely responsible for the “pit bull phenomenon”, that has wrought such misery upon both man and beast.
In WWI it was a pit bull that became a hero (and a Sargent!).
I have not, and will not look at what sounds like a very disturbing video. I am of the belief that an animal can be "put down" by the owner if done for a good reason, humanely and with respect. (Although personally we have our vet do it.) It sounds like this was cruel, drunken sport, and hopefully they will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Drugs and alcohol fueled spiral of self destruction... happens to a lot of people for no reason other than making bad choices.
Yet in WW2, damn near every surviving dog made it home.
Many, like the Dobew, volunteered by the families of the DPCA, returned to their owners and the others, went home with their soldiers.
A shame upon the nation, was VN.
The troops came home to abuse and the dogs came home, not at all.
Thankfully, military dogs are now receiving the honor they so richly deserve.
I will never watch that video.
It would gut me, to see the trust in the dog’s eyes.
It was cruel, drunken, sadistic revenge, aimed at the dog’s real owner, her soon to be ex.
I imagine I do not have to really describe what would happen, were someone to do that my dogs.
#machete
I hope her spiral of self destruction hits warp speed.
You might be on to it. It seemed she was OK until she wasn't.
It would be interesting to hear what happened in Korea.
So are you saying that in Vietnam it wasn’t that almost all of the 4,000 K9’s died in action - but were just abandoned??!! That is messed up. Just think of how many GI lives were saved by those dogs baking warnings, discovering the enemy, maybe chasing them down in tunnels, etc. I thought it was so many of them had died in action, but I guess that would be way to many to have almost all of them get killed.
So many freepers
So many complete and utter assholes
Most pit bulls are friendly, until one they day they are not
____________________________________
So true.
I understand the passion pit bull owners have for their companions...but they are a breed that were bred to fight.
The dogs were handed over to the Vietnamese army as America withdrew, just before it all went to hell.
The dogs died.
Sometimes if serious mental illness is starting up they will try to self medicate without being conscious of it. Of course the street drugs and alcohol will just make their illness even worse. And the drugs and booze will mislead others as to what is really going on.
From what the ex husband describes about her behavior, including the sudden onset, it sounds a whole lot like schizophrenia. She’s probably just well enough to function normally most of the time but her thought processes are going to get more and more confused and her behavior will get increasingly bizarre. Killing the dog is example. It makes no sense and she probably couldn’t explain it if she tried. I suspect the boyfriend just went along with whatever she came up with.
