3 charged with killing dogs after decomposing animals found in Macomb County rental home

EASTPOINTE, Mich. (FOX 2) – Three people who were recently evicted from an Eastpointe rental home left the property manager with a grim picture – six decaying dogs, authorities said.

Corneshia Robinson, 49, her son Kentrell Dorr, 21, and his girlfriend India Jones, 21, moved out of their home on Monday. When the property manager and cleaning crew entered the home, the Macomb County District Attorney's Office said they found the bodies of six decomposed dogs in the basement.

This discovery led to charges of third-degree animal killing/torture and abandonment/cruelty to animals against all three suspects.

“This is a horrific case of animal cruelty in which these individuals showed a complete disregard for life by allegedly allowing these dogs to starve. The suffering they caused is indescribable. Under Michigan law, torturing and killing dogs carries a maximum penalty of up to “While no punishment can repair the harm done, we will pursue justice within the law to ensure that these offenders are held accountable for their actions said Macomb County Prosecutor Pete Lucido.

Dorr and Jones were arraigned Wednesday and given $25,000 cash/surety bonds. Robinson will be charged later.
