Prescott Police is investigating a felony animal cruelty case that occurred the morning of July 26-th at Taylor Hicks Elementary School. Lead Police Officer Sean Hilton says an animal control supervisor located two deceased kittens in the parking lot of the baseball fields that appeared to have sustained blunt force trauma. He says two other kittens were found alive but were severely dehydrated, thin, and covered in urine and feces. The two surviving kittens were transported to a local animal hospital and received medical treatment. Hilton says three, possibly four juvenile males were making noise in the parking lot adjacent to the fields on the north end of campus, just after midnight. Video surveillance was obtained from the school.
Description:
The juveniles appear to be white, thin to medium build, with dark hair. Two of the suspects appear to be wearing white or light colored Nike athletic shoes. Another male subject appears to be wearing dark colored low-cut Nike shoes. It is believed they saw the cameras while climbing on the roof of the school and attempted to conceal their faces.
