Bodycam shows woman with 'fur on her lips' booked for eating Ohio cat - like Trump said
BLUF: Yes, the Haitians are reportedly eating pets and Canada geese in Springfield, Ohio, but in Canton, Ohio ‘twas a nutter that did the dirty deed. | [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Police in Ohio have released grisly footage of a crazed woman who allegedly stomped on a cat's head before feasting on the feline in full view of horrified witnesses.
Allexis Ferrell, 27, was found with 'fur on her lips and blood on her hands' when police were called by shocked neighbors in the town of Canton on August 16.
Authorities have now revealed bodycam video of the suspect after Donald Trump's extraordinary claim that Haitian migrants are killing and eating their neighbors' pets.
'Officers were able to determine that Allexis had smashed the cat's head with her foot and then began to eat the cat,' police wrote in their report.
The GOP candidate platformed rumors that Haitian newcomers in the town of Springfield have been feasting on its domestic animals. The claim electrified the presidential debate on Tuesday.
However, Ferrell - the only person known to have eaten a cat in the state recently - was identified as an American born woman in Canton, a town 170 miles away.
The bizarre footage opens seconds after police arrived to find a 'female squatting on a cat which appeared to have its head smashed in and the female with her hands on it'.
Ferrell is being held in the Stark County Jail on a charge of cruelty to companion animals, a fifth-degree felony.
She graduated from Canton McKinley High School in 2015 and has a lengthy criminal history, with previous charges including cocaine possession, receiving stolen property and endangering children.
'The suspect in this case is not a Haitian immigrant,' Canton police spokesperson Dennis Garren said. 'She is a lifelong Canton resident.'
Her bond has been set at $100,000 and she is due to face a competency hearing in front of Stark County Common Pleas Judge Frank G. Forchione on October 15.
Sounds like an upstanding man!
She has entered a plea of not guilty due to insanity.
