A sadistic Ohio woman who killed and ate a cat was sentenced to a year in jail for the twisted incident that was caught on video.
Allexis T. Ferrell, 27, of Canton, Ohio, was arrested in August after footage from the horrific act — in which she stomped on a cat’s head, and then ate it — was falsely used as proof of claims by then Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump that Haitian immigrants in Springfield were eating their pets.
“You’ve embarrassed this county. You’ve embarrassed this nation. More importantly, you’ve embarrassed yourself,” Stark County Common Pleas Judge Frank Forchione told Ferrell during her sentencing hearing, according to the Canton Repository.
“To me, you present quite a danger to our community,” Forchione continued. “This is repulsive to me, I mean, that anyone would do this to an animal. And an animal’s like a child. I don’t know if you understand that or not.”
“Absolutely,” Ferrell responded, according to the Repository.
“They bring a lot of love to a lot of people,” Forchione added. “They don’t have a voice. But their only voice today is me and I’m going to exercise this voice very loudly.”
Ferrell was indicted on a charge of cruelty to companion animals on Aug. 21.
She initially pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, but after a court-ordered evaluation found she was competent to stand trial, the wicked woman changed her plea to guilty on Monday.
Prosecutors said police arrived at the scene before Ferrell was able to eat much of the cat.
“Officers were able to determine that Allexis had smashed the cat’s head with her foot and then began to eat the cat,” according to a police officer’s account in the arrest report.
“I did observe blood on Allexis’ feet, hands, and fur on her lips.”
After the Ferrell’s arrest, a video showing police bodycam footage was posted online with the headline “Haitian Woman Eats Neighbor’s Cat in Springfield.”
Trump repeatedly said during his presidential debate against Kamala Harris that illegal immigrants in Ohio were eating their pets.
“In Springfield, they are eating the dogs. The people that came in, they are eating the cats. They’re eating … they are eating the pets of the people that live there.”
Soon after the debate, bodycam footage of Ferrell’s arrest hit the internet with the headline “Haitian Woman Eats Neighbor’s Cat in Springfield,” despite the woman being a lifelong Canton resident.
Ferrell received the maximum sentence. The one-year in prison will be served consecutively to a separate 18-month sentence Ferrell was hit with for two prior crimes — a 2019 theft case and a felony count of endangering children, according to court records.
