Oregon Woman Obsessed With Rabbits Back In Jail
An Oregon woman obsessed with bunnies has been ordered back behind bars after police found her in a hotel room with more than a dozen rabbits.
Washington County Circuit Judge Gayle Nachtigal ruled Thursday that 47-year-old Miriam Sakewitz violated her probation by having the rabbits. The judge sentenced the woman to 90 days in the county jail.
Police arrested Sakewitz June 16 after she called a maintenance worker to her room in the Portland suburb of Tigard to fix a broken television set. The worker saw and smelled the rabbits, some of them hopping free.
The woman’s legal problems began in 2006, when Hillsboro police found more than 150 rabbits in her home and dozens more bunny bodies in freezers. She was arrested on accusations of animal neglect. After pleading no contest, she was placed on five years probation, with one condition being that she stay away from rabbits.
Tigard Police spokesman Jim Wolf said Washington County animal control officers removed eight adult rabbits, five young ones and a dead one from the hotel room in the latest incident.
Washington County probation officer Bob Severe said Sakewitz had undergone a court-ordered mental evaluation but that no treatment was recommended.

About time. If you ask me she set women’s lib back decades with her acts. Maybe she found a network willing to pimp out her M.I.L.F. act.
A serial killer loose in SC.
GAFFNEY, S.C. – Sheriff’s deputies searched Friday for a serial killer blamed for four deaths over the past six days as terrified residents wondered who might be next.
Investigators have not figured out how the victims are linked or if they knew the man who shot them. So far, all they have is a sketch of a suspect and a possible getaway vehicle, said Cherokee County Sheriff Bill Blanton.
“There’s no evidence there is a hit list,” Blanton said. “There’s no evidence he knows the victims. There’s no evidence the victims are connected.”

But plenty of evidence links the killings, said Blanton, who would not provide details.
“Yes, we have a serial killer,” he said at a news conference.
The latest victims were found in their family’s small furniture and appliance shop in the small town of Gaffney, S.C., around closing time Thursday. Stephen Tyler, 45, was killed, and his 15-year-old daughter was shot and seriously injured. Tyler’s wife, his older daughter and an employee found them, County Coroner Dennis Fowler said.
The latest killing happened one day and about seven miles from where family members found the bodies of 83-year-old Hazel Linder and her 50-year-old daughter, Gena Linder Parker, bound and shot in Linder’s home. Blanton would not say if Tyler and his daughter were also bound.
The killing spree began last Saturday about 10 miles from Tyler’s shop. Peach farmer Kline Cash, 63, was found shot in his living room. Investigators said he appeared to have been robbed, but they haven’t determined if anything was taken in the latest killings.
The shootings have prompted fear in Cherokee County, 50 miles south of Charlotte, N.C., and home to about 54,000 people. The county had just six homicides in all of 2008, and that was double the number reported the year before.
Residents have “their guard up and their gun handy,” said Sen. Harvey Peeler, a Republican who represents the area in the state legislature.
