DECATUR, Ill. (WAND) - A Decatur woman who is transitioning to become a man and told police she threw four kittens against a wall in bouts of rage fueled by testosterone treatments is now seeking mental help.
25-year-old Elaina Chamblin pleaded not guilty in February to aggravated cruelty to animals.
Chamblin is trying to be admitted to Mental Health Court.
However, Chamblin is not listed as a resident of Macon County. Only Macon County residents qualify for the program.
Chamblin is out on bond and cannot live in a home with animals. That change of address took her outside of Macon County.
Mental Health Court offers treatment programs that help people outside of the traditional justice system.
