Teen arrested after 3 horses stabbed multiple times at Vegas competition
Source: KRQE citing KTLA
According to Phillips, surveillance cameras in the barns captured the teen entering at least two stalls, which helped lead police to her.
Detectives located the teen at a nearby hotel and took her into custody without incident. She was transported to Clark County Juvenile Hall, where she was booked on 12 counts of willful or malicious killing, maiming or torturing of an animal, horse, and three counts of felony malicious destruction of private property over $5,000, investigators said.
The teen suspect was a competitor in the event, according to a statement from the National Barrel Horse Association, which said the incident was immediately addressed.
The individual involved has been removed and placed in the care of authorities, and there is no ongoing threat of any kind, NBHA officials added.

Sad. Horrifying. Surely there were missed warning signs.

(15,142 posts)Competitor Arielle Phillips horse, Detail, was also stabbed several times. In a social media post, Phillips described the teen as a crazy obsessed stalker who has been following me on social media for a long time, obsessing over Detail, obsessing over meeting me.

(2,170 posts)In an article--and I have no idea where I saw it now--that her parents have been warned that she is a bully. So it sounds like they can't say they are shocked at this behavior.
