I want everyone in America to know who Scott Andrew Graham is and to know that he has been allowed to walk free despite being a clear threat to society.
Scott Andrew Graham is a man in Mesa, AZ who admitted to police that he abducted 40 - 50 cats from Mesa neighborhoods. He was caught on video abducting a cat named Biscuit, who later turned up dead and mutilated along with two other cats. Despite what I believe is compelling evidence against him, the Maricopa County Prosecutor has decided not to charge Graham. I have laid out the evidence below.
(more after the jump)
An eye witness who recognized Graham from the video saw him abduct another cat. When the eye witness, who was on a bicycle, tried to pursue Graham, who was in a car, Graham threw the cat out the window and sped off. The same eye witness later saw Graham again. This time both Graham and the eye witness were in their cars and the eye witness was able to get pictures of both Graham and his car.
When the police went to Graham's home they described the "smell of death" coming from his trunk. They observed that he had serious cat scratches on his arm, which was bandaged up. He admitted to them that he had abducted 40 - 50 cats from Mesa neighborhoods, but claimed he only "played with them" and then released them in other neighborhoods.
The Maricopa County Prosecutor has now dropped the case, claiming not enough evidence. Here is the evidence:
* Video of Graham abducting Biscuit, who later turns up tortured and dead
* An eye witness who saw Graham attempt to abduct another cat
* Cat scratches on Graham's arm
* The "smell of death" in his trunk
* Graham's own admission that he abducted 40 - 50 cats
That is just what has been released publicly. After Graham was arrested, the police stated that they felt there was enough evidence in his home to arrest hi, which suggests there is probably other evidence we do not know about.
Scott Andrew Graham should be arrested and charged with, at the very least, theft for the 40 - 50 cats that he has already admitted to taking. That is at the very least.
Anyone who watches the video of Graham abducting Biscuit from the top of a car can see that his intent was not play.
The video below is of Graham taking Biscuit. This video does not show Graham harming Biscuit, but it is highly disturbing.
WARNING: This video is highly disturbing
There are also pictures of what Graham did to Biscuit, but I do not want to post them or links to them. It's absolutely horrible.
There is a protest scheduled for Saturday in Mesa.
Sat 9-29 @ 11am corner of Alma School & Pecos, south of Guadalupe, Mesa 85210
If you think that Scott Andrew Graham is a threat to society, please sign and share the petition for the Maricopa County Prosecutor.
I have a cat and if something like this happened to him I would be devastated. I can't even imagine the pain the families of these cats are going through. Not just knowing that your cat is gone, but in such an awful, brutal way. It's just terrible.
If Scott Andrew Graham is allowed to continue to walk free, there is a very good chance he will not only harm more cats, but eventually he will harm people. Not charging him puts people in danger, especially small, vulnerable children.
