Brandon Lee Dwayne Littke, 25, has been charged with abandoning two kittens at a gas station in Detroit, throwing them from a moving vehicle, and then driving over one of the animals.
The incident, which happened at about 11:30 a.m. April 21 at a gas station on West Seven Mile Road, was partially recorded on security video. The charges allege that Littke threw two kittens out of a moving vehicle and then ran over one of the kittens, killing that animal, before fleeing the scene.
"No living being should ever be thrown from a moving vehicle. Ever. Does this really need to be said? The alleged actions of the defendant in this case are criminal and not acceptable on any level," Worthy said in her statement.
Wayne County man charged with driving over kitten after throwing it from a moving vehicle
A man has been charged with dumping two kittens at a gas station, and then driving over one of the animals.
Although one of the kittens died, the other was rescued thanks to a woman named Yolibeth Delfin.
She was pumping gas and heard the kitten’s cries from behind an ice cooler.
Delfin took the kitten to a friend’s home, which cares for cats. They fed and washed the animal and then took him to Michigan Humane.
She and her partner want to adopt the kitten they named “Diesel” from the gas station where it was found.
But first, Michigan Humane needs to finish the investigation.
