Morris Street, where they encountered Krystal Scott and a van she had rented. Scott was taken into custody by the U.S. Marshal’s Office for a probation violation related to a 2020 animal cruelty case. Following her arrest, IMPD Nuisance Abatement investigators obtained a search warrant for the van and recovered multiple animal remains, believed to be from dogs and cats. Through the course of the investigation, detectives learned that Scott had allegedly acquired animals from individuals offering free pets for adoption through social media groups. Many of these meetups reportedly took place at or near Greenwood Park Mall, and she was operating a rental Sprinter van with Arizona license plate AM95046. IMPD Nuisance Abatement detectives are asking for the public’s assistance. If you gave or received an animal from Krystal Scott or interacted with her through social media in connection with the described van, please contact IMPD Nuisance Abatement at (317) 327-1270 or IMPD_NuisanceAbatement@indy.gov. Alternatively, they can call Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317.262.8477 or (TIPS) to remain anonymous. Photographs of Scott are included. Your information could be vital to the ongoing IMPD investigation. Additionally, 13 live animals were confiscated in relation to this incident and were relocated to Indianapolis Animal Care Services (IACS). If you believe your animal may be one of those confiscated, please contact IACS at (317) 327-1397. Case Number: IP250053542
