Texas Cheerleader Aubrey Layne Vanlandingham Charged With Felony for Poisoning Classmate's Goat Out of Jealousy, Faces Up to Two Years in Prison
Dec 31, 2024, 12:52 AM
A 17-year-old Texas cheerleader, Aubrey Layne Vanlandingham, has been charged with felony animal cruelty after allegedly poisoning a classmate's show goat out of jealousy. The incident, which took place in October at Vista Ridge High School in Cedar Park, Texas, involved Vanlandingham forcing the goat to drink pesticide using a syringe-like device. The goat, named Willy, was owned by an FFA competitor and died from the poisoning, with a necropsy confirming the presence of the pesticide phosmet. Security video captured the act, and Vanlandingham admitted to it, claiming her classmate was a 'cheater' and expressing dislike for cheaters. She also searched online for methods to poison pets and how to clear her search history. Vanlandingham faces up to two years in prison if convicted and has a court date scheduled for January 15, 2025.
