A Las Vegas equestrian competition turned into a crime scene when three competitors’ horses were stabbed in an apparent attempt to incapacitate them and remove them from competition. Later, it was revealed that a teenage barrel racing competitor was the main suspect.
According to The Independent, the teenage girl is now facing 12 counts of willfully killing or maiming an animal and three counts of felony malicious destruction of private property worth more than $5,000. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department was characteristically quick to respond to the complaint and released a statement explaining how investigators identified the unnamed teen as the main suspect.
