A Florida woman is behind bars after stealing electricity and siccing her large dog on utility workers who confronted her, according to law enforcement in the Sunshine State.

Tiffany Perkins, 28, stands accused of myriad crimes including one count each of aggravated assault, aggravated battery, creating or maintaining a nuisance, keeping a nuisance, larceny related to a utility, grand theft, animal cruelty, burning unpermitted materials, operating an unpermitted landfill, misusing the 911 system, resisting an officer with violence, resisting without violence, as well as two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill.

The incident occurred Feb. 25 at a residence on Sugar Pine Loop in Lake Wales – a medium-sized city in central Florida, according to a press release issued by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.

A deputy arrived at the home late in the morning in response to a call from two Duke Energy workers, the sheriff’s office said.

A Texas teenager was arrested after being accused of allegedly poisoning a show goat named Willie — an act that she reportedly admitted to attempting once before.

The arrest of Aubrey Vanlandingham, 17, took place on Nov. 22 following an investigation into the death of a show goat belonging to another family. According to an arrest affidavit obtained by the Austin American-Statesman, Vanlandingham apparently confessed to deliberately poisoning the goat by force-feeding it pesticide, an act that was caught by security cameras. She apparently told police that she “doesn’t like cheaters,” referring to the family who owned the goat and were Vanlandingham’s competitors in a local Future Farmers of America livestock show.

Upon arriving at the scene, first responders said they observed the deceased dog, named “Batman,” to have “injuries consistent with a stab wound.” Additionally, deputies said they observed that “a plastic bag had been placed over the dog’s head.”

“The family had a babysitter at the home on January 25th and suspected she had killed the dog, Batman, an 8-year-old Chihuahua,” the release states.

The babysitter — identified as Sonnemann — was subsequently interviewed by police and arrested for allegedly killing the animal.

“While the victims of this incident grieve the loss of a beloved family pet, the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department fully recognizes the severity of this crime,” Lt. Nicholas Wenzel from the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department in its news release.

A 28-year-old woman in Pennsylvania was arrested this week for allegedly posting a series of videos to her social media channel in which she slowly and sadistically tortured animals such as chickens, rabbits, frogs, and birds. Anigar Monsee was taken into custody on Friday and charged with four counts of aggravated animal cruelty, court records obtained by Law&Crime show.

According to a probable cause affidavit, authorities were tipped off about videos that had been posted to YouTube by PETA headquarters documenting a “scantily-clad woman torturing rabbits, chickens, frogs, and pigeons by slowly disemboweling and otherwise mutilating the animals while still alive.” The document states that Monsee was also “severing the struggling and screaming animals’ necks with a dull knife over the course of several minutes.”

One video, titled “Cooking Lucky,” allegedly posted to Monsee’s account showed her alongside a live chicken that was in her sink. Before harming the animal, Monsee allegedly commented about the number of viewers and likes that her livestreaming video was getting and “solicited more before she harmed the animal.”

“For roughly the next 10 minutes, the actor aggressively handled the clearly terrified animal, plucked feathers from the bird’s neck, and hacked repeatedly at the struggling bird’s throat with knives while the animal attempted to escape,” the affidavit states. “The actor then climbed on the counter, pinned the bird down in the sink with her feet, before sawing at the bird’s neck in a slow back and forth motion. She continued carving at the bird’s neck for more than two minutes, until the screen went black.”
