‘She was sitting in the tub full of blood’: Woman allegedly disemboweled man’s puppy in bathroom, told him ‘You’re next’ 

Yadelin Marin (Miami-Dade Police Dept.)

A 19-year-old woman in Florida was arrested this week after she allegedly disemboweled a man’s puppy inside of his bathroom, threatened to do the same to the animal’s owner, then spit on a police officer while being taken into custody. Yadelin Marin was taken into custody on Wednesday and charged with one felony count of second-degree animal cruelty with intent to injure and one misdemeanor count of battery on a law enforcement officer, court records reviewed by Law&Crime show.

According to a copy of the probable cause affidavit obtained by CBS News, officers with the Miami-Dade Police Department on July 12 responded to a call regarding an animal being stabbed at a residence located in the 300 block of NW 82nd Street in El Portal. Upon arriving at the scene, first responders spoke with the owner of the animal, who reportedly said that he was at his home when a friend informed him that his new puppy had been disemboweled in his bathroom.

When the dog’s owner walked into the bathroom, he came across a grisly scene that police reportedly described as “horrific” in the incident report. Marin was allegedly sitting in the bathtub next to the dead puppy’s body. She was reportedly still holding the knife she used to allegedly gut the animal when she “told [the victim] you’re next.”

Following the gruesome evisceration, Marin reportedly fled the scene.

A woman who rents a room in the home reportedly told Miami NBC affiliate WTVJ that Marin had been staying at the residence “off and on” for a little while prior to the incident. She also clarified that the puppy’s name was “Kory.”
