A Gainesville woman was arrested Friday on allegations she tried to get another woman to pay $20 to have her kitten returned and threatening to hurt the kitten if the money was not paid, police reported.
Madeleine Joan Kaye, 22, of 400 NW Third St., was charged with extortion/threats, her arrest report states. She is listed as a student in the report.
A woman who is in the same circle of friends with Kaye had posted notices that her gray kitten was lost. On Thursday, Kaye sent the woman several text messages saying she had the kitten and wanted at least $20 or “something bad” would happen to the kitten, the report states.
One text from Kaye said the kitten was not being returned out of revenge for how the owner had treated a friend of Kaye's.
Officer Frederick Munn reported that he met with Kaye Friday in an effort to get the kitten. Kaye denied all knowledge of the kitten.
After being read her Miranda rights, Kaye admitted to sending the text messages while out drinking with friends, the report states.
“Defendant stated that the messages are representatives or examples of HUMOR,” Munn wrote in the report. “The defendant states that she has no knowledge of where the kitten is or what has happened to the kitten.”
