Detroit Woman Charged in Non-Fatal Stabbing of Dog
Prosecutor Kym Worthy has charged Jordan Love, 29, of Detroit, in connection with the non-fatal stabbing of her dog.
On February 7, 2025, at approximately 2:00 p.m., Detroit Animal Control (DAC) officers were dispatched to a residence in the 15200 block of Manning Street for reports of a dog stabbing. Upon their arrival, officers forced entry into the home where they located the injured dog in the basement, suffering from multiple stab wounds to its torso. DAC officers seized a total of three dogs and four cats from the defendant's home.
It is alleged that Defendant Love stabbed the dog multiple times. It is also alleged that at approximately 1:30 a.m., on February 7, 2025, the defendant posted a video of the injured dog on social media. Sometime thereafter she fled from Michigan.
Defendant Love was located by authorities in Greenville, South Carolina, on March 20, 2025, and extradited back to Michigan. She was transported back to Michigan by Wayne County Prosecutor's Office detectives and arrived in Michigan in the late afternoon on April 9, 2025.
Jordan Love has been charged with Animals - Killing/Torturing - Second Degree, which carries a maximum penalty of Seven Years and Abandoning/Cruelty to Four to Ten Animals, which carries a maximum penalty of Two Years.*
"The WCPO has always taken the abuse of animals very seriously. We have impacted legislation and have been proactive with the applicable laws - seeking and fighting to change them in many instances. Although we never really anticipated the alleged brutally and cruelty that this case represents, as a result of our earlier efforts, this case is a clear representation of why better laws were needed," said Prosecutor Kym Worthy.
She was arraigned this morning in 36th District Court before Magistrate William Burton and given a $50,000 cash/surety bond with a GPS tether. A bond re-determination hearing is scheduled for April 14, 2025, at 9:00 a.m., before Judge William McConico. The Probable Cause Conference is scheduled for April 21, 2025, and the Preliminary Examination is scheduled for April 28, 2025, before Judge Marlena Taylor.
Please request a photograph of the defendant from the Detroit Police Department.
*The charges are allegations and defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
