A woman from Volusia County in Florida has been arrested after authorities say she threw a cat into a river.
Christa Anne Thistle, 53, has been charged with animal cruelty and simple assault, according to a Volusia County Sheriff’s Office release.
Deputies were dispatched to Oak Hill’s Riverwood Park Campground around 7 p.m. Thursday, according to WESH.
Thistle and her boyfriend had just recently decided to go their separate ways but then they ended up auguring ’cause he wasn’t moving out fast enough for her. Thistle became impatient and snatched up the ex’s cat (Stanley) that was in a crate and tossed it into the river, police say.
The feline was under water for less than a minute, when the ex dove in to retrieve his pet.
“Stanley was still wet and shivering when deputies arrived, and the boyfriend was wet from the waist down, consistent with jumping in the river to save him,” a report said.
This next part is her taking her savageness up to the next level….
Thistle told the police that needed to go to jail, as soon as possible because she needed to “make a phone call, bond out and kill her ex-boyfriend.”
She was taken to Volusia County Branch Jail and is currently being held on $5,000 for animal cruelty charge.
But since she threatened to kill her ex-boyfriend, the judge ordered her to stay in jail.
