Virginia Running Back Solomon Beebe Charged with Animal Cruelty

The charge follows a witness report that Solomon Beebe punched his dog, and the University of Virginia player faces three counts of animal cruelty.

  • Virginia football player Solomon Beebe was arrested on three counts of animal cruelty stemming from incidents on August 10 and August 12 involving his pit bull, Jeb, according to court records.
  • A housekeeper at the Maximilian at Stonefield reported seeing Beebe punch his dog on August 12, prompting Albemarle County officials to seize the animal on August 13 and place it in protective custody.
  • Beebe, a running back who transferred to Virginia from UAB in January, was expected to play a significant role for the Cavaliers this season as a kickoff returner and in the offensive rotation.
  • Beebe was released Monday on unsecured bail following his appearance in Albemarle County District Court, though the University has not commented on his specific status with the football team.
  • The Cavaliers are scheduled to open the 2026 season on August 29 against State, while ongoing legal proceedings create uncertainty regarding Beebe's availability for the upcoming campaign.
