JACKSON COUNTY, FL – A Bascom man found dead on a trail near Kirland Road might have been the victim of a roaming wild pack of dogs. Surveillance cameras set by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department revealed footage that showed the pack of dogs in the area where the body of Donald Ray Allen was found last week.
On November 18th, 2020, deputies from the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office were called to an area off Kirkland Rd. where a Bascom man was found deceased.
