On Tuesday, August 5th, Miami-Dade police raided a property where they thought Yurianne Hervis Gonzalez (aka Elvin Hervis Gonzalez) was hiding and took him into custody. During the arrest they found that Gonzalez, 34, was in possession of a stolen truck.
The trio was tracked down as part of Operation Noche Buena, a five month-long undercover investigation in which Animal Recovery Mission (ARM) investigators collected evidence on the illegal slaughter farm which killed animals in the most horrific ways, such as: skinning, butchering, stabbing, hammering, shooting, and boiling animals alive.
Gonzalez has a reputation of being an extremely violent criminal and has worked in the illegal animal slaughter and torture trade for most of his life, according to ARM.
Gonzalez allegedly admitted to police during questioning that he was a car thief since several vehicles found on the property where he was captured came back as stolen.
He is facing over 150 animal cruelty crimes along with auto theft, horse killing and domestic abuse.
