Bossier Sheriff’s Office Detectives have arrested a Haughton man on charges of Aggravated Cruelty to Animals. The arrest took place on August 12th, following an incident on August 7th where the suspect, Phillip Shaun Bramlett, 41, was witnessed dropping four kittens out of the window of his vehicle while driving through Bossier Parish.
A concerned witness traveling on Highway 157 reported seeing Bramlett drop a kitten from the driver’s side window of his vehicle, followed by three more kittens on Bellevue Road. The witness reported that the kittens were nearly run over by Bramlett’s vehicle after being discarded on the road.
Despite efforts by patrol deputies to locate the kittens, none were found. However, during the investigation, Bramlett was identified as a suspect and was contacted at his residence. Although he denied dropping the kittens, Bramlett admitted that four kittens were missing from his home.
BSO detectives were able to obtain video evidence showing Bramlett dropping a kitten from his vehicle, corroborating the witness’s account. Subsequently, an arrest warrant was issued for Bramlett, leading to his arrest and booking into the Bossier Maximum-Security Facility with a bond set at $25,000.
