- Pennsylvania, USA -
The Palmer Township Police Department said that a warrant is out for the arrest of 20-year-old CHRISTOPHER WINCHELL JR. of Elyria, Ohio.
WINCHELL is accused of killing his ex-girlfriend’s cat.
Police said that on March 5, 2025, officers responded to an apartment building in the 500 block of Oakwood Street for a violation of a protection from abuse order.
Upon arrival, officers spoke with the caller, WINCHELL’s ex-girlfriend. The woman told officers that on February 20, 2025, she arrived at the apartment and WINCHELL told her he used a hammer to kill her cat and then disposed of the furvictim’s body in a trash can.
Officers processed the scene and seized the evidence related to the incident.
On March 11, 2025, District Judge Susan Hutnik issued the arrest warrant for WINCHELL who is facing felony aggravated cruelty to animals; misdemeanor cruelty to animals; and misdemeanor possessing an instrument of crime.
If you are aware of WINCHELL’s whereabouts, please call (610) - 759 - 2200 or dial 911 and report his location/physical appearance. Police advise not to approach him.
Investigators say WINCHELL could possibly be traveling back to the Elyria, Ohio area.
I took the liberty of naming the Voiceless Victim Muffin for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.
