NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) -- Three men pleaded guilty after a rather unusual burglary in Norfolk back in 2019. The incident ended with a Pomeranian being burned and a more than five-year pursuit for the third defendant.

On June 20, 2019, 38-year-old Dominic Selby, 44-year-old Christopher Davis and 41-year-old Michael Griffin broke into a Bay View home, believing it to belong to a drug dealer.

It didn't.

The three had targeted the wrong residence while the victims were not home.

Before Selby was able to cover up the exterior camera, it captured his co-defendant Griffin carrying a spray bottle of what was later discovered to be ammonia. Davis could also be seen armed with a black semiautomatic pistol. The camera was then covered and removed from the mount.

However, cameras inside the home captured the whole burglary. The victims' Pomeranians were home being monitored by surveillance cameras.

After breaking the front door of the victims’ unit and searching the home for valuables, including going through the food boxes in the kitchen cabinets. The three men ultimately stole property worth less than $500.

After the Pomeranians began barking at Griffin, he splashed one of the dogs with ammonia, causing burns to the dog. Ammonia serves multiple purposes, including being an ingredient for methamphetamine.

The injuries required treatment but didn't cause permanent injuries. The victims later came home and reported the incident to Norfolk Police, who broadcasted video of the incident in an effort to identify the three co-defendants.

Within four days, tips led to the identification of Selby, Davis and Griffin.

Davis and Griffin were arrested in 2019, shortly after the police identified them. However, it wasn't until October 2024 that Selby was arrested.

In 2020, Griffin pleaded guilty to statutory burglary, conspiring to commit burglary and cruelty to animals. He was sentenced to serve four years in prison.

In 2023, Davis pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit burglary, cruelty to animals and petit larceny and agreed to pay restitution to the victims and serve two and a half years in prison. Davis received two additional years for being in violation of his parole, for a total of four years.

Davis had also been sentenced in multiple other Hampton Roads jurisdictions to serve nearly ten years in prison for fraud crimes he had committed that were unrelated to this offense.

Selby’s warrants remained active for more than five years, and in October 2024 the Norfolk Police arrested him for the warrants from this offense and for warrants for violating his probation on previous offenses.

On Jan. 23, 2025, Selby pleaded guilty to statutory burglary, cruelty to animals and three violations of probation. Judge Robert B. Rigney accepted Mr. Selby’s plea agreement, found him guilty, and set his sentencing hearing on May 2.

“We must prioritize the care of victims in our work, and that is why, having built a relationship with the victims in this case over the course of five years, I chose to prosecute Mr. Selby personally,” said Commonwealth’s Attorney Ramin Fatehi. “I appreciate the victims’ care for their fur babies and their assistance in holding accountable these three men. Mr. Selby has now accepted responsibility for his offenses, and at sentencing I will seek a sentence that fits Mr. Selby’s role in this crime.”

NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) -- An Alabama woman pleaded guilty in Norfolk, on Jan. 30, for her role in directing and funding videos of the torture, crushing and sadistic sexual mutilation of juvenile and adult monkeys, according to a release.

49-year-old Stacey Storey was just one of the individuals responsible for the creation and distribution of these torture videos. Other co-conspirators included 51-year-old Michael Macartney, of Chesapeake, 61-year-old Jeffrey Radtke, of Bloomington, Minnesota, and 30-year-old Drexel Venero of Rockville, Maryland.

On or around June 21, 2022, Storey distributed a video to an online chat groups depicting the torture of a juvenile monkey using a jar of ants and sodomy with an object, killing the monkey, according to a release.

Storey stated, “Enjoy this one ladies and gents." She also stated, “If you guys would like to send in a small donation for this guy a little bonus for a job well done that we've always wanted to see would be absolutely amazing.”

She played a part in directing how the animals should be tortured. Other methods of torture included crushing, a process in which an animal is crushed to death, as well as sexually mutilating the monkeys.

Storey and her co-conspirators collectively paid money to foreign co-conspirators outside of the United States, specifically having communication with someone in Indonesia. The foreign co-conspirators recorded and sent the videos to Storey and her co-conspirators in the United States, who sent them to the broader online chat group members.

Between at least Aug. 22, 2021, and July 7, 2022, Storey received hundreds of payments to pay for the creation of new animal crush videos by videographers outside the United States. Storey and others had direct communications with a co-conspirator in Indonesia who hired the videographers. 

In June 2023, law enforcement seized Storey’s electronic devices. Storey’s electronic media and accounts contained over 675 videos and 11,000 images depicting animal crushing.

Storey is scheduled to be sentenced on June 10 and faces up to five years in prison.

Regarding her co-conspirators, Macartney pled guilty on April 30, 2024. Macartney was sentenced on Oct. 1, 2024, to three years and six months in prison. Radtke pled guilty on Sept. 24, 2024, and is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 13, facing up to five years in prison. Venero pled guilty on Dec. 12, 2024. Venero is scheduled to be sentenced on April 22, 2025.

NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) - Several flights at the Norfolk International Airport (ORF) were canceled Thursday morning after an American Airlines flight and U.S. Army Black Hawk Helicopter collided mid-air near Reagan Washington National Airport.

According to ORF's website, two departure flights to Washington D.C. have been canceled and two arrival flights to Washington D.C. have been canceled as a result of the crash. Officials with the Reagan Washington National Airport said they plan to reopen around 11 a.m.

In addition to the flight cancelations, ORF canceled their ribbon cutting for the return of its moving walkways, which was scheduled to take place Thursday morning.

Here locally, at Norfolk International Airport, one traveler spoke to 10 On Your Side. Ronnie Oliver traveling out of Suffolk said he had to pause when he saw the news.

"Well it was horrible, you couldn't help -- but your heart goes out to the families and everything," said Oliver. "You heard and of course I was traveling this morning, so you pay a little more attention to it than you normally do, it's not the way it should be, but that's how it is. It's horrible and I listened to a little bit of the clips this morning. And it sounded like its pretty complicated."

During a press briefing early Thursday morning, officials stated they do not expect any survivors after the crash. As of 8 a.m., 27 bodies have been recovered from the plane and one body from the helicopter.

President Donald Trump spoke at a new conference at 11 a.m. on the incident. Trump said that the investigation is underway and that the two aircraft should've never been at the same elevation.

During the conference, Trump began with a moment of silence for the victims. Shortly thereafter, he came up with a series of potential causes for the crash, including coming down on former President Joe Biden's policies, the air traffic controllers, the helicopter pilot and what he called "DEI hires."

The claim was focus point of many follow up questions, but wasn't backed up by hard evidence. Trump cited "common sense" as reasoning for his conclusion. The president assured the public that they should not be fearful of traveling.

See the full press conference below:

Senator Mark Warner spoke during the briefing, giving his condolences to the victims and thanks to first responders.

"For folks who don't live in the DMV, we are made up of a lot of jurisdictions," Warner said. "Reagan airport is in Virginia, across the river we have Maryland, and obviously the District. But as has been indicated by the chief, when tragedy happens, all those distinctions between the various jurisdictions and our federal partners, all disappear."

A portion of the briefing can be viewed below:

The plane, which departed from Kansas, was said to be carrying 60 passengers and four crew members. Three military members were onboard the helicopter, according to officials. The crash occurred just before 9 p.m. on Wednesday.

Rep. Bobby Scott also responded to the tragic collision, saying he is thankful for our first responders on the scene.

"I'm closely monitoring the situation at DCA that occurred this evening involving a collision between a passenger airplane and a military helicopter," Scott said. "I'm thankful for our first responders on the scene. My thoughts and prayers are with all those involved in this horrible tragedy."

Sen. Louise Lucas and Rep. Jen Kiggans have also posted their condolences as well as gratitude to the first responders who were on the scene.

Multiple fatalities have been reported as a result of the collision, but it is currently unclear just how many victims there are as rescue efforts continued into early Thursday morning.

"Over the course of the night, and we hope to have more news as it develops, but for right now, it's a very difficult situation out there with the cold," Jack Potter, president of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority said. "It's very dark, but there are numerous boats out there. There are dive teams out there."

In 1982, an Air Florida flight also crashed into the Potomac, ultimately killing 70 passengers and four crew members.

10 On Your Side's Andy Fox will be in DC and are expected to give updates on the incident throughout the day.
