- Kentucky, USA -
On the afternoon of Friday, January 27, 2023, the Kentucky State Police arrested 27-years-old TRISTAN WAYNE HOLLIN (pictured), accused of shooting and killing twelve puppies.
Police said that on Friday they received reports that twelve puppies had been killed in the 1800 block of Dry Ridge Road, in Eastview, Hardin County.
Troopers responded to the scene and learned from witnesses, including Mr. Joshua Hollin, the puppies’ guardian, that HOLLIN had told them he had killed the puppies and that he had a gun.
Mr. Hollin told police he saw a “large amount of blood” in an outbuilding on the property.
Police were unable to make contact with HOLLIN so a search warrant was obtained and executed at Mr. Hollin’s property. The search led to the discovery of the outbuilding which appeared to be an animal pen, and the lifeless bodies of three puppies in a container near a shovel and pile of dirt. Trooper then located HOLLIN in a bedroom of the property and he admitted to killing the puppies. HOLLIN told troopers he first shot the puppies and then gave the gun to his uncle who lives next door. HOLLIN went on to say that he had buried all the puppies in a hole next to where the other three were found.
Police took HOLLIN into custody and charged him with twelve counts of second-degree animal cruelty, thirteen counts of tampering with physical evidence, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Online records show that HOLLIN is being held at the Hardin County Detention Center on a $7,500.
The filthy murderer’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for February 3, 2023.
HOLLIN is on probation until October 2023, for previous crimes.
I have emailed the Kentucky State Police and requested additional information about the VOICELESS VICTIMS. If I get a response, I will post and update.
