Suspect arrested after intentionally running over rooster, police say – KION546

SAN BENITO COUNTY, Calif. (KION-TV) – The Hollister Police Department’s Animal Care and Protection Division has arrested a 61-year-old woman who intentionally ran over her rooster.

According to officials, they received several reports of a woman kicking chickens, injuring one.

On May 23, several Animal Control and Welfare officers, along with the San Benito County Sheriff’s Office, executed a warrant at a home in the 2000 block of San Juan Canyon Road in unincorporated San Benito County.

While executing the warrant, animal control officers noticed a strong odor of feces coming from the home, which prompted them to obtain a search warrant for the property.

After animal control officers obtained the search warrant, they discovered two cats living in unsanitary conditions and without adequate care.

Both cats were seized from the home and are currently in the care of the Hollister Animal Shelter and have been receiving medical treatment at the direction of the San Benito County Sheriff’s Office.

Police arrested 61-year-old Dina Iden and booked her into the San Benito County Jail on aggravated animal cruelty charges.
