TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV)– One man was arrested after an investigation into missing animals in Terre Haute.
According to a release from the Terre Haute Police Department, an investigation begun after social media posts raised concerns on an individual stealing cats and “potentially using them to feed a snake.” The initial findings from the THPD investigation found Kevin Hollingsworth of Terre Haute was attempting to catch and release stray animals, and he did not possess a snake.
Shortly thereafter, THPD received a report of an animal being lured from its property, accompanied by video of the incident. Police say Hollingsworth has been arrested for theft/criminal conversion in connection to this report.
The animals in question have not been located at this time, and were reportedly released on the outskirts of city limits.
Anyone with information should contact Det. Phillip Ralston at 812-244-2626.
