Cocoa, FL — At 5 am on Wednesday morning, 58-year-old Wendell Joyner awoke to his house ablaze. However, after he ran from his home, he quickly realized that his three dogs were still inside.
“I got out of the house, and then I realized, ‘Oh, wait a minute, my dogs are in there,” Joyner told WKMG-TV. “So, I went back inside to look for my dogs.”
The smoke was so bad that Joyner had to keep returning outside to catch his breath while searching for his dogs. However, on the third time he came out for air, law enforcement on the scene told him to stay out.
Like most people would do when their beloved pets are threatened with being burned alive, Joyner ignored their demands. He then saw an opportunity to throw a firefighter’s axe through a window and attempted to go back in.
As Joyner heroically attempted to enter the window to save his dogs, he was tackled by multiple deputies who, he claims, used excessive force in bringing him down, which left him battered and bloody.
Joyner was then arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. He was taken to a nearby hospital for a CAT scan before being hauled off to Brevard County Jail.
“My defense is — I was trying to save my dogs,” Joyner said. “I think at the most, they should’ve taken me aside, and if they felt that I needed it — to be in a squad car until things settled.”
Standing by the actions of his deputies, Brevard County sheriff’s spokesman David Jacobs said they believed Joyner was intoxicated and feared for what he could have done with the axe. However, the intoxication claim has not been substantiated.
Jacobs warned that the charges were lenient considering the use of a firefighter’s axe could have landed Joyner with a felony.
Fortunately, the story does have somewhat of a happy ending, in spite of the charges, the Brevard County fire rescue team was able to save the dogs after Joyner was beaten and arrested.
They are now with him and his roommate who are staying with friends until they can rebuild. The roommates have since launched a go fund me to help get back on their feet.
Had Joyner been successful in his efforts, he would have been regarded as a hero, like the man in the video below. Or, he could have been seriously injured or killed — however, that was his choice. Instead, thanks to the Brevard County Sheriff’s department, this choice was denied and now he’s facing jail time.

No one was threatened by the ax. I believe the Brevard County Sheriff’s office knew that and were smart enough not to pursue felony charges. I further believe the only reason the Sheriff’s Office mentioned it, was to try Joyner in the media. As far as being intoxicated in your own home, bugger off Sheriff.
Now if it was three ex-wife’s burning in the house this wouldn’t be an issue.
Ya just can’t make this sht up anymore people.
He would have been better off just saying he had 3 pounds of meth and heroin in the house. Plus a load of cash drug money.
Then he wouldn’t have been arrested.
Just his ass kicked.
Plus the cop would have helped him retrieve the contraband.
Then he could have saved his dogs.
Instead of girls gone wild.
How about a new DVD..
Police gone wild!
Yeah….. Police porn, a new industry.
Unbelievable. ….
The cops in this country are a bunch of SICK BASTARDS, and they were hired for that reason.
Yes, I know that your uncle, or your wife’s cousin is a cop, and he seems like a nice guy, but appearing to be sane and agreeable is what sociopaths and psychopaths excel at.
If he wears the tin badge of tyranny, he’s a brutal, murderous, thieving, psychopathic menace to our society that needs to be put down like any other rabid dog.
Any cop not directly involved with the brutality and crime is covering up for the ones who are. That’s been proven, and that means they’re ALL guilty by the laws of the U.S.
Every stinking pig bastard in this country needs to get what they have coming for the millions of murders, rapes, robberies, and for torturing people to satisfy their own sadistic lust.
If you still think “some cops are good”, or the oft-cited myth “but we need cops”, it’s because you’re a brainwashed idiot, and YOU need to go with them.
“Jacobs warned that the charges were lenient considering the use of a firefighter’s axe could have landed Joyner with a felony.”
What the hell ISN’T a felony these days???
“… the Brevard County fire rescue team was able to save the dogs after Joyner was beaten and arrested.”
That’s good to know.
Why didn’t they save them BEFORE he was beaten and arrested.
“… now he’s facing jail time.”
Naturally.
Mammon extraction.
Thought crime is a felony nowadays.
And yes…, I for one am guilty as hell.
And proud of it. I’ll wear it like a badge of honor on my ass , so they can “Kiss It”
Guilty according to “their” laws.
But not by my laws.
Which follow natural law.
Which are the universal Creators law.
The moral of the story is if you don’t kick that cops ass.
Someone’s gonna have hot dogs for dinner.
Tastes like chicken.
