Charges Dropped in Jayco RV Cat Cruelty Case: Outrage and Ongoing Investigation
The Elkhart County Prosecutor dismissed charges against three former Jayco employees accused of animal cruelty, after filing a motion to dismiss. This decision followed a scrivener’s error in the Probable Cause Affidavit that attributed an inaccurate statement to a Jayco executive, prompting further investigation. The prosecutor is awaiting the results of this additional investigation, which has affected the veracity of the original charging decision. No interviews will be given until further evidence is received, and the office is refraining from amending any charging decisions until it can be meaningfully considered.
