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.

EDWARD ANDREW SCHULEY accused of murdering the cat of the friend he was staying with

Updated: Jul 27, 2024

- Indiana, USA -

 

36-year-old EDWARD ANDREW SCHULEY (pictured) is facing charges for murdering a defenseless cat.

 

According to the probable cause affidavit provided to Voice For Us by the Clark County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, on July 8, 2024, Patrolman Lawson with the Jeffersonville Police Department was dispatched to a residence on 1315 E. Court Avenue in reference to a report of animal cruelty causing death.

 

Upon arrival, he spoke with the reporting party, that I will refer to as Ms. A., and learned that Ms. A.'s 8-year-old female cat named FatFat had been killed by SCHULEY.

 

Ms. A. explained that she had met SCHULEY in March of this year and he asked her if he could stay at her apartment for a few days. Ms. A. offered him hospitality starting from July 5, 2024. She told Patrolman Lawson that FatFat "feared [the] guest and would hide anytime she saw Edward." Ms. A. added that "at no time did her cat ever harm or attack Edward when he was staying."

 

On the afternoon of July 7, 2024, Ms. A. left the apartment to go to the store and when she returned, she noticed some blood on SCHULEY's right hand. She asked him what happened and he answered he had cut himself with his pocketknife. Ms. A. had no reason to doubt him because she knew he carried a pocketknife, so she believed him.

 

In the evening, before going to bed, Ms. A. could not find FatFat and SCHULEY said that she was probably hiding or playing outside.

 

When Ms. A. woke up the following morning she went outside and started looking for FatFat but could not find her anywhere. At some point that morning, SCHULEY left to go to mandated court rehab and Ms. A. was still outside searching for FatFat.


When she went back to the apartment, she noticed dry blood on the wall above her couch. She then moved the couch and found more blood on the floor. Ms. A. had a camera in her living room facing the couch, so she took her phone and reviewed security footage. The video showed SCHULEY striking FatFat, wrapping her in a blanket, and taking her to the kitchen.

 

After watching the video Ms. A. decided to look inside her garbage can outside at the rear of her apartment and when she opened it, she found FatFat lifeless under a box.

 

Patrolman Lawson reported that when he watched the video, he saw SCHULEY reaching behind the couch to grab FatFat who could be heard hissing. He put her into the blanket and tied a knot while FatFat’s legs were hanging out of the blanket.

 

Ms. A. had placed FatFat in a box and showed her to Patrolman Lawson. FatFat had injuries to the right side of her little face and mouth area. Ms. A. confirmed FatFat did not have these injuries prior to the incident.

 

SCHULEY was brought into Clark County Circuit Court in handcuffs on Friday, July 19, 2024.

He is facing one felony count of animal cruelty.

 

Court records show four future dates for the murderer. August 19, 2024 (Pretrial Conference), September 19, 2024 (Status Conference), November 4, 2024 (Final PreTrial Hearing/Conference), and November 21, 2024 (Jury Trial).
