2nd arrest made in connection to missing French Bulldog ‘Julio'
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — A second arrest has been made in connection to the theft of a French Bulldog, court records show. 20-year-old Tahari Taylor was booked into the Mecklenburg County Detention Center on May 30 and charged with felony possession of stolen goods. According to an affidavit, on April 6, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police were called to the 3000 block of Barrow Road in reference to a stolen vehicle. Inside the vehicle was the victim's French Bulldog 'Julio'. MORE | The car was found on April 11, and a juvenile was charged, but Julio was still missing. While investigators were investigating an unrelated incident, data from a cell phone was reviewed and found to contain evidence from this case. The phone data contained text messages between two people on April 7, less than 24 hours after the victim's car and dog were stolen. The text stated that Taylor had the dog and was bringing it to the co-defendant's home. Further evidence on the phone confirmed that the dog and vehicle belonged to the victim. There were also photos and videos of the victim's car and dog. On May 14, a 37-year-old woman, Kendra Hunter, was also charged with felony possession of stolen goods in relation to this case. Both are being charged with felonies because the dog is worth $5,000. Court documents say that the dog's owner contacted investigators on May 1 to say that Hunter called her about the dog. It was communicated that the dog 'may be with someone's uncle who breeds French Bulldogs.' Investigators also reviewed Hunter's teenage son's cellphone, finding a photo of Julio that was taken at their home less than a day after the dog was stolen. Officials have not said if Hunter's son was the juvenile who was arrested. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

LANSING, (Mich.) WLNS — Jewish people across America continue to react to an in Colorado calling for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza, which injured 12 people. This includes many in Mid-Michigan, who are concerned with what they call a pattern of antisemitic rhetoric. What we know about the man charged in the attack in Boulder, Colorado Matthew Zivian, a Jewish East Lansing resident and a recent Michigan State graduate, says attacks like this hit close to home. He described Jews across the country as 'one big connected community.' He said he's seen antisemitic slogans and phrasing right here in East Lansing, and worries that if an attack like this can happen in Colorado, it can happen here. Jews in Mid-Michigan want to see anti-Semitic phrases being publicly called out. Zivian worries that if anti-Semitic hate speech goes unchecked, it will lead to violence. 4 additional victims identified in Boulder attack, bringing number of injured to 12 'It's a trend that we've seen all throughout history. So when it happens here, it's horrifying, and terrible, and disgusting, but it's no shock,' says Zivian. 'You need to call out antisemitism when you see it and listen to your Jewish friends who are saying, 'what I am seeing is making me uncomfortable,'' said Zivian. Zivian said he has no choice but to stay optimistic that, in the future, these acts of violence against the Jewish community will stop. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
