Trio Starves 6 Dogs To Death In Macomb Co. Home, Leaves Bodies In Basement: Police

EASTPOINTE, MI — A mother, her son and the son's girlfriend are facing charges after intentionally killing multiple dogs in a Macomb County rental house, according to the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office.

Corneshia Robinson, 49, Kentrell Dorr, 21, and, India Jones, 21 were each charged with killing/torturing animals in the third degree and abandoning/cruelty to animals.

Dorr and Jones were placed in jail with a bond set at $25,000. If released on bond, the two are ordered to have no drugs or alcohol, no contact with animals and no contact with witnesses in the case.

Their next court date is scheduled for Oct. 16. Robinson will be arraigned at a later date.

If convicted of torturing and killing dogs, they face up to four years in prison.

Robinson, Dorr and Jones were evicted from their Eastpointe rental home Monday, according to the prosecutor's office.

When the property manager and cleaning crew entered the house, they found six dogs in a state of decomposition in the basement, according to the prosecutor's office.

"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," Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido said. "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."
