Woman with ‘Fur on Her Lips’ Arrested for Eating Cat in Ohio

Police in Ohio have released grisly footage of a woman who allegedly stomped on a cat’s head before feasting on the animal 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.

Ferrell is a native of the town, which is 172 miles from Springfield – where unproven claims that Haitian migrants are ‘eating pets’ have sparked a national scandal.

While she is neither a migrant nor from Springfield, the video of her arrest has been spread online in viral discussions and debates about the issue.

Authorities have now revealed bodycam video of the incident.

‘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.

It comes after Donald Trump made extraordinary and unproven claims during his presidential debate that Haitian migrants are killing and eating their neighbors’ pets in Springfield, some 170 miles away from Canton.

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’.

Officers confronted Ferrell and ordered her to put her hands behind her back before one remarked: ‘Someone got rubber gloves? She’s covered in blood.’

She makes no response as she is asked her address and read her Miranda rights, before the grossed out officer warns a colleague to put a blanket on the back seat of their squad car.

‘Smile for me. Go like this,’ he says as he holds up a camera, ‘Did you eat that cat? Did you eat it?’

She bares her teeth for the picture and shakes her head slightly but says nothing.

‘Why d’you kill it?’ he demands.

‘I don’t know,’ she pipes in a small voice.

‘Get in there. It’s ridiculous,’ he says as he shoves her into the car.

Watch:

The first claims about pets being eaten over in Springfield were raised at a city commission meeting on July 30.

Furious locals used the forum to voice their feelings about the 15,000 Haitians who have arrived on Temporary Protected Status since 2020.

‘I really challenge you guys to get out here and do something,’ one angry resident told the meeting.

‘These Haitians are running into trash cans, running into buildings, they’re flipping cars in the middle of the streets.’

‘They’re in the park, grabbing up ducks by their neck, and cutting their head off and walking off with them. They’re eating them.’

One anonymous poster to a Springfield residents’ Facebook group claimed that her ‘neighbor’s daughter’s friend’ had lost her cat.

‘One day she came home from work, as soon as she stepped out of her car, looked towards a neighbor’s house, where Haitians live, and saw her cat hanging from a branch, like you’d do a deer for butchering, and they were carving it up to eat,’ she explained.

Police and city officials in the town have been at pains to insist that there have been no credible reports of any migrants harming any pets.

But the rumors were amplified by Trump’s running mate JD Vance before the ex-president himself wielded them in his debate with Kamala Harris.

‘In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs,’ he told her. ‘The people that came in. They’re eating the cats.

‘They’re eating — they’re eating the pets of the people that live there.

‘And this is what’s happening in our country.’

Told by ABC moderator David Muir that there had been no credible reports to the authorities, the ex-president insisted that had ‘seen people on television’.

‘The people on television say my dog was taken and used for food,’ he added.

A spokesperson for Springfield police was among those denying the claims.

‘In response to recent rumors alleging criminal activity by the immigrant population in our city, we wish to clarify that there have been no credible reports or specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community,’ he said on Tuesday.

The Canton PD footage continues with an officer turning to a group of onlookers after Ferrell is placed in the squad car.

‘Did you guys see all this?’ he inquires.

‘No we pulled up and she was just laying there with..’ one replies.

‘Did you see her eating it?’ he asks.

‘Yeah,’ says one, ‘It was gross,’ added another.

‘She said with the blood on her shoes she stomped it out. She stomped the head out.’

‘Well you don’t kill a cat and go to the hospital, you go to jail,’ the officer remarks.

‘Will you call the humane society and see if they will come pick this cat up,’ he then mutters into his radio. ‘It’s deceased.’

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.

She has entered a plea of not guilty due to insanity.

    Is she a registered democrat? She is obviously in need of mental therapy.

    Trump doesn’t make crazy stuff up. The Socialists DO.

    I worked for the U.S. Government for over 40 years. I traveled to many, many third-world countries on official business. Haiti was one of the countries I was in. As practiced in many countries I was in, they do eat dogs, cats, rats, ducks, other fowl and just about anything else they can. They have to or starve. I see no reason for then to change their diets just because they are in America. How about stopping all the BS about people doing what they have to do to survive and place the blame where it belongs> The Biden-Harris Administration dumped those people in Springfield and abandoned them. THEY HAVE TO EAT.
    They have to eat and they are doing what they know how to do to survive. Like it or not but, do not blame the messengers because you think eating cats and dogs is gross. Actually, I have eaten dog and horse as well as the eyes of sheep in many “civilized” countries. The meat of a young black dog is a favorite in many countries. I prefer horse meat over beef. Horse meet was a common dish on many American and European tables until the 1940s. Now we feed it to our dogs. I do not like the taste of cat. I think that is because the cat was the animal of choice for most high school biology classes when I was in school and I associate it with smell of formaldehyde.
