While digging into a financial crimes investigation at an animal grooming salon, investigators learned that the owner allegedly had a history of abusing the cats and dogs in her care, according to cops in Sarasota, Florida.

“This is all a bunch of bulls—,” the defendant, Diana Stevens, 41, told officers Friday in police body camera footage.

But the probable cause affidavit from cops said that not only do they have witness statements, but surveillance footage showing her roughing up animals.

“Stevens finally gets the noose around the dog’s neck, tightens it all the way and then yanks the dog up by the noose,” police wrote regarding footage dated Aug. 16, 2023. “The dog is hanging by its neck in the air, she hits the dog twice and the dog spins around in the air.”

Officers described the dog urinating itself out of fear during the incident.

“She’s lying to you,” Stevens said Friday. “All these people are lying.”
