TIFFANY VANSTONE arrested – Several cats and five children removed from a Johnston home

- Rhode Island, USA -

 

The Johnston Police Department received reports of children living in possible deplorable conditions at a home on 41 Harris Avenue.

 

On the late night of Wednesday, August 14, 2024, officers responded to the home and conducted a well-being check. Police found several cats and five children. Throughout the home officers observed trash, feces, and moldy food.

 

Animal Control was called in to remove the cats who were found without food or water.

 

Among the children living at the home was a seven-week-old infant. The Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) responded to the scene and took the juveniles to the Hasbro Children’s Hospital to be evaluated.

 

On August 15, 2024, police arrested the children’s mother, 40-year-old TIFFANY VANSTONE (pictured), on a warrant for unnecessary cruelty to animals and five felony counts of cruelty to or neglect of a child. She was arraigned and issued a $10,000 personal recognizance bail. The court also ordered her not to have unsupervised contact with her children.

 

Town Building Officials have since deemed the house uninhabitable.

 

I have emailed Johnston Police Department and Animal Control to inquire about the cats but at the time of writing, I have not heard back from them.

REWARD offered for information on the monster(s) who abandoned 3 kittens in a trash compactor

- Virginia, USA -

 

The Animal Legal Defense Fund, an American legal advocacy organization for animals, is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the monster(s) who abandoned three helpless kittens.

 

In a press release the organization said that the furvictims were left to die in a trash compactor near the Darlington Heights convenience site in Prince Edward County. On the morning of May 23, 2024, a local attendant heard the only surviving kitten meowing and found her “clinging to life” in an orange plastic bag where her siblings were sadly discovered lifeless.

 

In a Facebook post, Prince Edward County Animal Care and Control said: “If it weren’t for the attendant at the site who heard meowing coming from the compactor, then all would have perished.”

 

The kitten, named Zoey, was bathed and brought to a local veterinarian for examination. According to the Animal Legal Defense Fund, she “has been adopted into a loving home, and is doing very well.”

 

Animal Legal Defense Fund Managing Attorney David B. Rosengard said: “Abandoning kittens in a trash compactor not only leaves them to die a painful death, but is also a criminal violation of Virgina’s cruelty code. We are hopeful that members of the community are able to come forward with information that will lead to justice for these animals and prevent similar actions in the future.”

 

Prince Edward County Animal Control and the Prince Edward County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the incident and are reaching out to the public to come forward with information that can identify the heartless and soulless individual(s) responsible for this heinous crime.

 

Prince Edward County’s Chief Animal Control Officer Adam Mumma said: “We are beyond grateful for the support of the Animal League Defense Fund for posting a reward for this heinous crime that occurred in our community. The County is committed to bringing this individual to justice. We urge anyone with information to please contact Prince Edward County Animal Control at 434-223-7310.”

 

If you know who did it, do the right thing and speak up or you are just as guilty!

 

The names of the deceased furvictims were not disclosed, so I took the liberty of naming them Cherry and Kiwi for the tribute image. Should their given names be made public, I will rectify them accordingly.

DEANGELO ANTWON GODARD JR charged with setting home on fire with dog locked inside

- North Carolina, USA -

 

The Greenville Police Department arrested 23-year-old DEANGELO ANTWON GODARD JR (pictured).

 

It started as a call for service for a domestic altercation at a residence on 5190 Deveron Street in Greenville. On the early afternoon of Sunday, July 7, 2024, GODARD’s girlfriend reported being assaulted and punched by GODARD. At one point she left the house and was able to get a ride to a nearby fast-food restaurant where she called for help.

 

Officers with Greenville Police escorted the woman back to her house to retrieve some belongings and discovered that the house was on fire. As they cleared the home to make sure that GODARD was not still there, they found and successfully rescued the woman’s dog who was trapped in a bedroom.

 

GODARD was located on July 11, 2024, on Bradford Drive and placed under arrest. He was booked into the Pitt County Detention Center on charges of felony cruelty to animals, second degree arson, injury to personal property, injury to real property, and crime of domestic violence. Bond was set at $370,000.

 

As for the furvictim, all I am able to tell you is that he/she was not injured and remained with his/her guardian, GODARD’s girlfriend.

 

As the editor of Voice For Us I strive to provide detailed and accurate information about the animals involved in the articles I publish. I emailed several agencies and departments, to inquire about the dog’s wellbeing, age, name, breed, gender, and the dog’s pictures.

 

I was told in an email by Donald K. Phillips, Assistant City Attorney:

“.... please note that the City is not required to reveal information (see e.g. your multiple questions contained in your public records request), unless that information is public record.  That is, ‘[t]he distinction between records and information also means that simply because a public employee knows a specific piece of information, he or she has no obligation to reveal that information to anyone who requests it.’ David M. Lawrence, Public Records Law for North Caroline Local Governments p. 35 (UNC School of Government 2nd ed 2009). Consequently, in response to your request for information the City responds as follows : The City declines to respond to your request for information but will provide you with public records and public records information that is responsive to your request.”
