POMPANO BEACH, Fla. – A South Florida woman has been arrested on some nerve-racking animal cruelty allegations.
It came about on Tuesday at roughly 12:30 p.m. within the yard of a house alongside the 1600 block of Northeast thirty third Street in Pompano Beach.
Police have since arrested and charged 79-year-old Elgathe Celestin.
Sky 10 flew over the house the place police mentioned they discovered a cat that were set on fire.
A resident says he noticed smoke coming from his neighbor’s yard, and when he regarded over the fence he noticed a cat being burned alive.
“I looked and I saw she was stoking the flames up and the cat was moving,” mentioned the person, who requested to not be known. “I was on the phone with 911 telling them the cat was still alive.”
The neighbor believes it was once a trapped stray cat.
“(The police) saved asking her, ‘What are you doing? What are you doing?” he said.
Investigators said the cat had to be euthanized.
Celestin is facing an animal cruelty charge.
Local 10 News’ Bridgette Matter in brief spoke to her son.
“I have no idea, I don’t know what happened,” he mentioned.
Another neighbor advised Local 10 News that she has smelled what she idea was once useless animals for over a 12 months, on and stale, including that Celestin was once all the time sort and pleasant.
