Dallas Police Officers first caught up with Janeth Maclean around 4 p.m. on Bill Curuth Road after a woman followed her while calling 9-1-1 to report what she thought were animals being tossed out of the passenger window of Maclean's Nissan Rogue.
The woman, Amanda Chadwell, told investigators she saw Maclean throw three animals from the car during the time they left the parking lot at Kroger in Dallas to the time officers pulled the pair over.
When investigators asked Maclean about the kittens she denied throwing them from her car and told officers she would never do such a thing, that she had cats at home. However, Chadwell later confirmed to officers she did in fact see the woman toss animals from the window.
When officers backtracked the women's route they discovered one deceased kitten in the middle of the road at Georgia Highway 6 and Thomas B Murphy Drive. They found another one alive just down the road near Old Harris Road. The officers rescued the kitten and put it in the patrol car. They were not able to find the third kitten.
Investigators spoke with a neighbor of Maclean's, and she claimed to have spoken with the woman and her husband the night before the incident. She said “Mr. Maclean said he wanted to take the cats and Mrs. Maclean said she did not want them because she did not like cats.”
Janeth Maclean was taken into custody on three counts of animal cruelty. A court date is pending.
