The incident occurred just weeks before Donald Trump referenced unsubstantiated reports during the presidential debate that alleged Haitian immigrants were "eating pets" in Springfield, a town approximately 170 miles from Canton.

The claims were echoed by Trump's running mate, JD Vance, who said, "In Springfield, they're eating the dogs. The people that came in. They're eating the cats."

After her arrest, Ferrell was charged with cruelty to companion animals, a fifth-degree felony. She was currently being held at the Stark County Jail with a bond set at $100,000.

Ferrell has pleaded not guilty due to insanity and is scheduled for a competency hearing on Oct. 15, officials said.

Canton Police spokesperson Dennis Garren emphasized that Ferrell's actions are unrelated to the migrant claims and described her as a "lifelong Canton resident."
