KATIE RENE STILL arrested after a dead dog and abused and neglected animals found in Butler County

- Ohio, USA -

Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones announced that on December 4, 2023, the Sheriff’s Office Deputy Dog Warden Division arrested 31-years-old KATIE RENE STILL (pictured), of Hanover Township.

Deputy Dog Wardens conducted an animal welfare check at a property in the 6000 block of Oxford Milford Road where they found a deceased Pitbull mix in a crate and a live horse who was severely emaciated.

As stated in court documents, “The crate had barely enough room for the dog to lay.” The dog was on his/her side and “far into decomposition.” Documents further stated that the condition of the dog appeared as if he/she “had starved to death.”

According to court documents, the horse “was unstable and skin and bones and had obviously not been fed on a regular basis.”

In addition to the dead dog and the horse, Deputy Dog Wardens found and removed a pig and three other dogs due to their condition.

According to a criminal complaint, STILL arrived at the scene at about 1:00 p.m. and told the Deputy Dog Wardens that “she had not been out to the property to care for the animals in at least a week” and the poor souls had not been checked on or fed.

STILL was booked at the Butler County Jail on one count of prohibitions concerning companion animals and cruelty to animals. She was released after posting bond.

Sheriff Jones advised that the investigation is ongoing and additional charges are possible.

Animal Friends Humane Society are reaching out to the community requesting help for the abused horse. The shelter needs Alfalfa Cubes, Soft Hay, and Monetary Donations. If you wish and can afford to help out, please visit their Facebook page. Thank you!

Authorities did not disclose the name of the deceased furbaby, so I took the liberty of naming him/her Nuvola for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.

ALICIA A. WRIGHT, CORY JOHN DISANTO, AMY E. WALKER, and her husband ROBERT M. WALKER arrested

- New York, USA -

On Monday, December 4, 2023, the Ontario County Sheriff’s Office arrested 36-years-old ALICIA A. WRIGHT (pictured via Facebook), 37-years-old CORY JOHN DISANTO (pictured via Facebook), 54-years-old AMY E. WALKER, and her husband 60-years-old ROBERT M. WALKER.

The sheriff’s office along with the Ontario County Humane Society launched an investigation on November 24, 2023, after receiving a complaint about a property on 1074 Cress Road in Phelps.

The investigation led to the discovery of a deceased dog behind the property.

The sheriff's office said the dog, a 3-year-old Dogo Argentino named Covid, was found wrapped in a blanket several yards from a makeshift kennel, in a wooded area.

The Voiceless Victim was taken to the Cornell University Animal Health Diagnostic Center, where a necropsy was performed. Results showed that the furvictim died from starvation.

The sheriff’s office said all four individuals were aware of the furbaby’s situation even if DISANTO moved out before the investigation began. All four were charged with a felony count of aggravated cruelty to an animal.

Five other dogs were found inside the property and removed. Veterinary staff at the Ontario County Humane Society examined them and found them to be healthy.

DISANTO was taken to the Ontario County Jail for arraignment, while the others were issued an appearance ticket to appear in Phelps Town Court at a later date.
