The Cobb County Police Department arrested 28-years-old JOSEF LIMBAGA LUAGUE and 26-years-old NORMAL THOMAS KIBE (both pictured), both of Marietta.
LUAGUE and KIBE, former Cobb County Animal Control employees, were arrested in two separate incidents.
LUAGUE was arrested on February 9, 2024, after he “aggressively slammed a dog between the door and the metal frame of a cage”, reports FOX 5 Atlanta. The news outlet further reports that according to another court document, LUAGUE is “also accused of kicking a dog.”
Nine days later, on February 18, 2024, KIBE was arrested for slamming a cat against a wall. The incident happened in January 2024, at Cobb County Animal Control shelter while KIBE was still an employee. According to FOX 5 Atlanta, records also show that KIBE “‘forcefully threw’ a soft pet carrier with a cat inside it on the same day.”
LUAGUE and KIBE were released after posting bond and are awaiting their next court dates.
Cobb County Animal Control wrote in a statement: “These are isolated incidents and don't reflect the dedication and hard work of our employees.”
The investigation is still active.
