On Monday, December 2, 2024, 27-year-old ALLEXIS TELIA FERRELL (pictured), pleaded guilty to a felony charge of animal cruelty and Stark Country Common Pleas Judge Frank Forchione sentenced her to one year behind bars.

Quoting the Massillon Independent, the New York Post reports that Judge Forchione told FERRELL: “To me, you present quite a danger to our community. This is repulsive to me. I mean, that anyone would do this to an animal. And an animal’s like a child. I don’t know if you understand that or not. I can’t express the disappointment, shock, disgust that this crime has brought to me. You’ve embarrassed this county. You’ve embarrassed this nation. More importantly, you’ve embarrassed yourself.”

On Monday, FERRELL was also sentenced on probation violations in two prior cases, which were triggered by the animal cruelty case.

In April 2023, FERRELL was sentenced to three-year-probation on a felony count of endangering children. Due to the new conviction, FERRELL will now serve an additional eighteen (18) months in prison on those charges, for a total sentence of thirty (30) months.

Additionally, FERRELL was resentenced to six (6) months in prison on charges of theft and misuse of credit cards, to which she originally pleaded guilty in October 2019. FERRELL drew a six-month sentence which will be served concurrent with her other cases.

27-year-old ALLEXIS TELIA FERRELL (pictured), is scheduled to appear at Stark County Common Pleas Court on October 15, 2024, at 8:00 a.m.

Charging documents obtained by Voice For Us accuse FERRELL, society’s vomit, of killing a cat by stomping on his/her small head and then eating the creature.

According to the investigative report by the Canton Police Department, on the late evening of August 16, 2024, officers were dispatched to the 1100 block of 13th Street SE where FERRELL “did torture, kill, and eat a cat in a [residential] area in front of multiple people.”

Upon arrival, officers found FERRELL with her hands on a cat whose head appeared to have been smashed in. In the bodycam video provided to Voice For Us, an officer can be heard saying: “What did you do? Why did you kill the cat?”

From the investigation it emerged that FERRELL “had smashed the cat[']s head with her foot and then began to eat the cat.” One of the officers wrote on the report: “I did observe

blood on Allexis' feet, hands, and fur on her lips.”

One of the officers placed the filthy murderer under arrest and transported her to the Stark County Jail and booked her on felony charges of cruelty to a companion animal.

The other officers remained on the scene and secured the furvictim as evidence. The humane society also responded to the scene and picked up the Voiceless Victim.

On August 21, 2024, a Stark County grand jury indicted FERRELL. On August 23, 2024, she pleaded not guilty.

Online records show that FERRELL is still in custody, and Canton Police confirmed that in an email.

The cat’s gender is not known and I struggled to find a unisex name to pay tribute to this Innocent Soul. In the end, I chose Twain, after Mark Twain who had up to nineteen cats and loved them all more than he loved people.
