Small town cops making a big deal out of nothing.
People here idolize rural areas but crap like this happens in Mayberry...too many Barney Fifes trying to make felonies out of nothing. They got nothing else to do.
Beyond stupid.
I moved to Appalachia in 1991. There were lots of stray dogs and cats. Lots of road kill.
Then the county turned their shelter into a No Kill Humane Shelter.
Now I NEVER see a stray dog or cat. And no more stray cats show up.
