From Winter Haven, Florida. And thank you again, Florida, from all of us in California, for another
weird story.
An animal control officer was arrested after she forcibly took a dog from Rosa DiCesare, an 82-year-old retired nun.
Lori Holland, 41, had given Mojo the Chihuahua away to the nun because she had too many dogs and could no longer care for him, but apparently she had a change of heart.
Three days later she went to the woman’s home saying she wanted to drop off more items for Mojo. Then when she arrived, she said her son missed the dog and she was taking him back. Following an argument and a brief Chihuahua tug-of-war, she left with the dog.
When she was arrested on charges of robbery and burglary, she resigned her animal control position although she would have been fired anyway, according to deputies. Dognapping is not in the job description. Source

No I don't suppose it is. One thing I've noticed about our Animal Control officers as they really get off on the CONTROL part!

Good grief, just when you think you've heard everything along comes animal control.

Thanks for sharing all this. We've been wanting to find someone who knows about this sort of thing.

Sounds like 2 years ago when animal control raided my country home and arrested myself without even questioning me, torn my 89 year old mothers( who was visiting) chihuahuas out of her lap, took my dogs who had just got released from my vet recovering from a new strain of parvo, tore up my house "looking for animals" terrorized my grandchildren and in the end MY MOTHER DIED FROM A BROKEN HEART BECAUSE THE ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER TOOK HER 2 DOGS AND KITTENS AWAY FROM HER. A MORE IGNORANT AND WORTHLESS EXCUSE FOR HUMAN BEINGS IVE NEVER SEEN IN MY 60 YEARS...MURDERERS!!!!!

Wow, you know you are hitting a new all-time low by stealing a Chihuahua from a nun. Some people never cease to amaze me with their antics...
