Torture of Roadrunner charged

A Kansas City woman has been charged with animal abuse, a felony, and animal neglect in connection with the injured dog known now as Roadrunner, Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced today.

Kimberly Anderson, 36, faces Animal Abuse, a Class D Felony, and Animal Abandonment, a Class C misdemeanor.*

“Acts of violence against a defenseless creature should be met with serious consequences,” Baker said.

Baker also commended the animal rescue volunteers and staff, including KC Pet Project, who have helped the animal in this case.

According to court records, KC Police were dispatched to the 1200 block of Independence Avenue in connection with an animal abuse report. Witnesses told them that on Nov. 9, 2014, they had seen the suspect throw her small brown dog off the third floor balcony of an apartment complex and later picked it up and slammed it to the ground, then choked it with a leash. She left the dog outside. The dog was transported to a local animal rescue where both of its eyes were removed as a result of its injuries.

Prosecutors have requested a bond of $20,000/10 percent and asked that special bond conditions be imposed, including defendant have no contact with any animals or own any animals and that she turn over immediately any animals under her control to Animal Control.
