TikTok Livestreamer Arrested After Video Allegedly Shows Him Harming an Opossum

TikTok livestreamer Brandon Honea has been charged with aggravated animal cruelty after a video appeared to show him repeatedly striking an opossum against a porch. The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office said he was arrested on Wednesday, 11 November, after the incident was reported two days earlier and multiple calls came in about the alleged abuse. A woman can be heard in the footage pleading with him to stop. Honea is accused of killing the animal. Honea, a taxidermist, reportedly said the opossum had been killing his chickens and claimed that the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency told him he had done nothing wrong. A sheriff’s office investigator said authorities could not confirm that account and filed the charge after conducting their own investigation. Fayetteville police said they had contacted the wildlife agency and were prepared to assist.
