Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Loren Worthy charged 25-year-old BRANDON LEE DWAYNE LITTKE (pictured) with one count of abandoning two to three animals and one count of animals killing/torturing.

LITTKE is accused of abandoning two helpless kittens at a Detroit gas station.


The incident, which was caught on surveillance cameras, happened on the morning of April 21, 2025, at a gas station in the 24800 block of West 7 Mile Road and Grand River Avenue.


LITTKE is accused of throwing the furvictims out of a moving vehicle and running over one of them, killing the kitten, before fleeing the scene.


The Detroit Police Department launched an investigation and LITTKE was eventually arrested on April 24, 2025.


The surviving kitten, who was rescued by a bystander, is now in the care of Michigan Humane. The organization wrote in a Facebook post: “The surviving cat from Monday’s tragic incident is currently in our care and doing very well. He is not up for adoption at this time. He is being held as part of the investigation and will be in a forever home soon. We are assisting the Detroit Police Department with this ongoing case.”


I took the liberty of naming the deceased kitten Cinnamon for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.

Members of the New York State Police arrested 36-year-old KRYSTA DAWN LABARR (pictured – via Facebook).


Police said that on the afternoon of April 15, 2025, Troopers were dispatched to a residence on Brooklyn Road in the town of Lawrence to investigate an animal cruelty complaint.


From the investigation it emerged that “two adult dogs and five puppies had been abandoned inside a residence” and that LABARR was their guardian.


According to the police, the furvictims were malnourished and underweight and the residence was covered in urine and feces.


All of the Voiceless Victims were removed from the residence with the assistance of Animal Control and the Potsdam Humane Society.


Three days later, on April 18, 2025, LABARR was arrested and charged with seven counts of animal cruelty for torturing or injuring animals and failing to provide adequate sustenance. She was transported to SP Massena for processing and then released on an appearance ticket, which requires her to return to Lawrence Town Court in June.

The Toledo Police Department arrested 33-year-old MICHELLE ANN ROBERTS (pictured).


Officers responded to a house in the 400 block of 3rd Street in east Toledo from which ROBERTS had been evicted. She left without taking her dogs and when officers arrived at the home, they found two live Pitbulls and a deceased Pitbull puppy in a bedroom upstairs.


Officers found the live Pitbulls in cages with garbage piled on top of them, hiding them from sight. The furvictims had no food or water and it appeared they had been abandoned for several days due to the condition they were in.


Officers reported that the three dogs’ rib bones were visible and it appeared that the puppy had starved to death.


ROBERTS was taken into custody on April 11, 2025, and was charged with one count of cruelty to animals. Online arrest records show she was released from the Lucas County Jail on a $1,500 bond.

I took the liberty of naming the deceased puppy Cloud, for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.
