- Ohio, USA -
The Toledo Police Department arrested 33-year-old MICHELLE ANN ROBERTS (pictured).
Officers responded to a house in the 400 block of 3rd Street in east Toledo from which ROBERTS had been evicted. She left without taking her dogs and when officers arrived at the home, they found two live Pitbulls and a deceased Pitbull puppy in a bedroom upstairs.
Officers found the live Pitbulls in cages with garbage piled on top of them, hiding them from sight. The furvictims had no food or water and it appeared they had been abandoned for several days due to the condition they were in.
Officers reported that the three dogs’ rib bones were visible and it appeared that the puppy had starved to death.
ROBERTS was taken into custody on April 11, 2025, and was charged with one count of cruelty to animals. Online arrest records show she was released from the Lucas County Jail on a $1,500 bond.
I took the liberty of naming the deceased puppy Cloud, for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.
