Woman Kills Cat with Heroin
Woman Accused of Killing Cat with Heroin Overdose Updated: Thursday, 07 Jul 2011, 7:34 AM CDT Published : Thursday, 07 Jul 2011, 7:34 AM CDT (NewsCore) - A Boulder, Colo., woman was arrested after allegedly killing a cat by blowing heroin smoke into its face, KDVR reported Thursday. Danielle Blankenship, 21, was arrested Tuesday morning on charges of cruelty to animals, third degree assault, and domestic violence. She is being held in the Boulder County Jail on $1,500 bond. Police said they were responding to a domestic violence call after Blankenship's boyfriend called police to report that she hit him in the face Tuesday morning, according to the news channel. Officers said the woman admitted hitting her boyfriend with her fist because he would not let her use his phone to call for a ride. An officer noticed the cat lying on the steps to the downstairs area of the home while the pair were interviewed. Officer Gregory Perry wrote in a statement, "The cat appeared to be unresponsive, and the cat did not move when the officer touched it. It could not seem to get up." Blankenship's boyfriend said she was smoking heroin and blew it in the cat's face, an allegation Blakenship denies. She also denied accidentally hitting or kicking the cat, which is named Muffin, and told officers she would never hurt the animal. Animal control took the cat to the Humane Society of Boulder Valley where veterinarians treated it for poisoning. "The vet clinic called the Poison Control Center to try to find out if there were some specific things they could do to revive the cat. They gave it some IVs, and the cat rallied at one point," said Boulder Police Spokeswoman Kim Kobel. "They thought it was going to make it, but then it crashed soon after that and it died..." Kobel added, "This is an unusual case, if it actually is indeed a drug poisoning like this, a heroin poisoning." Blankenship could face felony charges depending on the results of tests on the cat due to be performed Thursday or Friday. Read more: http://www.myfoxhouston.com/dpps/new...#ixzz1RU2y26bC |

Re: Woman Kills Cat with Heroin
from what I read earlier....they are saying that the necropsy is scheduled for Thursday or Friday so I'm guessing next week sometime. I'll keep an eye out though.
