A municipal judge in a small Alabama city found two women guilty Tuesday on all charges in a case that started when they were caught feeding and trapping cats on public property near the courthouse.
The arrests in the small city north of Montgomery attracted national attention from animal rights organizations. The hearing was held in the Wetumpka City Council chambers with special prosecutor Brad Ekdahl from Prattville in front of the municipal judge. Supporters of Roberts and Alston filled about two-thirds of the seats, which also included local and national reporters from CBS.
Foster and other officers returned later that morning and saw Alston’s car still on the scene. Roberts, 85, had joined her and was sitting inside her car when the officers came back. A trespass order had already been issued against Roberts for feeding cats in the past, so officers arrested her. Beyer said the cats and buzzards caused thousands of dollars in damage to vehicles. He said that included one incident when cats allegedly burrowed through the firewall, a steel barrier between the engine and passenger cab, and into a truck. An expert on feral cats later testified that such behavior would be more common among rodents and that cats typically don’t chew through metal.
