It is alleged that Littke threw two kittens out of a moving vehicle. It is also alleged that he ran over one of the kittens with his vehicle, killing the kitten, before fleeing the scene.
Investigation by the Detroit Police Department led to the arrest of the 25-year-old man on April 24, 2005.
Littke has been charged with one count of animal killing/torturing and one count of abandoning two to three animals.
The 25-year-old man was arraigned on April 27, 2025, in 36th District Court and given a $25,000 personal bond.
The probable cause conference is scheduled for May 7, 2025, at 8:30 a.m., and the preliminary examination is scheduled for May 14, 2025, at 8:45 a.m.
Although one of the kittens died, the other was rescued thanks to a woman named Yolibeth Delfin.
She was pumping gas and heard the kitten’s cries from behind an ice cooler.
Delfin took the kitten to a friend’s home, which cares for cats. They fed and washed the animal and then took him to Michigan Humane.
She and her partner want to adopt the kitten they named “Diesel” from the gas station where it was found.
But first, Michigan Humane needs to finish the investigation.
