Three People Charged, Two Arraigned for Killing Six Dogs
Mount Clemens, MI - A mother, son and the son’s girlfriend have been charged for killing six dogs in an Eastpointe rental house.
It is alleged that on Monday, September 30, 2024, Corneshia Robinson, age 49, her son Kentrell Dorr, age 21, and his girlfriend India Jones, age 21 were evicted from their Eastpointe rental house. When the property manager and cleaning crew went to the house, six decomposed dogs were found in the basement. Under Michigan law, intentionally killing a dog is a four-year felony.
Corneshia Robinson, Kentrell Dorr, and India Jones were all charged with Killing / Torturing Animals in the Third Degree, a four year felony and Abandoning / Cruelty to 4- 10 Animals, a two year felony.
Today, Kentrell Dorr and India Jones were arraigned in 38th Eastpointe District Court where Magistrate Mark Makoswki set bond at $25,000 cash/surety, no 10%. Upon release the defendants are to have no drugs or alcohol, no contact with animals, and no contact with witnesses in the case. Corneshia Robinson will be arraigned at a later date.
A Probable Cause Hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, October 16, 2024 at 1:00pm and a Preliminary Exam on Wednesday, October 23, 2024 at 1:00pm by Eastpointe District Court Judge Kathleen Galen for both defendants.
"This is a horrifying case of animal torture, where these individuals showed a complete disregard for life by allegedly starving these dogs to death. The suffering they inflicted is beyond words. Under Michigan law, torturing and killing dogs carries a maximum penalty of up to four years in prison. While no sentence can undo the harm done, we will pursue justice to the fullest extent of the law to ensure these offenders are held accountable for their actions," said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido.
The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office represents the People. We are committed to achieving justice and following the laws of the State of Michigan. All that are accused of a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
