On April 2, ICE agents took custody of illegal alien John Young Cotter Johnstone of the United Kingdom, thanks to cooperation with Clark County, Nevada, law enforcement officials.
The day before being arrested by ICE agents, Johnstone was arrested by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and charged with four felony charges of willfully torturing, maiming, or mutilating animals.
Las Vegas investigators probed animal torture allegations against Johnstone for a month. The probe alleges that Johnstone used shock collars on dogs at the animal shelter where he was employed and stepped on their leashes to force their heads to the ground.
Johnstone also allegedly used some of the dogs’ leashes to swing them around mid-air. The animal torture was captured on video by the shelter, police say.
