The Miami Police Department arrested 23-year-old JORDAN JOHN DUBERRY (pictured).


DUBERRY was charged with fleeing and eluding as well as animal cruelty because while he was being chased by cops, he kept “two baby kittens” unsecured in his Infiniti G37.


Police said DUBERRY sped away from officers and ran numerous stop signs. According to the report, eventually DUBERRY turned into a dead-end parking lot and officers were able to take him into custody.


An officer wrote in his report that initially the kittens “appeared to be lifeless” but thankfully they were alive. The officer went on to report that “Although a cage was present, the kittens were not placed inside it and were instead observed moving freely within the vehicle, specifically on the floorboard of the front passenger side.”


The report stated that the furvictims were “not secured by any means, leaving them extremely vulnerable” as DUBERRY sped throughout the pursuit. The officer further wrote: “Due to their young age and small size, any sudden braking, abrupt turns, or a traffic collision could have caused the kittens to be crushed, thrown, or otherwise severely injured,” constituting a “disregard for their safety and could reasonably be considered animal cruelty.”


At the time of writing, online records show that DUBERRY is being held in the Miami-Dade County Corrections and Rehabilitation Department.


As for the Voiceless Victims, they are now in the custody of DUBERRY’s girlfriend.

The Miami-Dade Police Department arrested 36-years-old MERCEDEZ LAPORSHA COCHRAN (pictured) on one felony count of animal cruelty with intent to injure and kill and one misdemeanor count of confining an animal without food or water.


The arrest follows an investigation launched after receiving a report of animal cruelty.

On Monday, August 7, 2023, an officer responded to an apartment building in the 15000 block of Southwest 282nd Street, in Homestead to investigate.

Police said that in the backyard, the officer found a caged dog sitting in a pool of his/her urine and feces. The officer reported that there was no food or water inside the cage nor nearby.

The officer further reported that the furvictim appeared emaciated with multiple sores visible along his/her body.


Police identified COCHRAN as the dog’s guardian and on Wednesday, August 9, 2023, she went to the station for questioning. On the same day COCHRAN was placed under arrest as a result of the investigation and her confession. Police said COCHRAN is responsible for subjecting the Voiceless Victim to unnecessary pain and suffering. COCHRAN was taken to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center and released after posting a $,6000 bond. Court records show she is scheduled to appear back in court on September 8, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. before judge Richard Hersch.


The dog was removed and no additional details are available at the moment.
