Top4-Couple heading to court over custody of cat
MONTREAL — An estranged Montreal couple is clawing it out in court over custody of a cat named Miley. Her sentimental value is so great to Maria Melissa Criniti and Charles Desparois that Miley is the main sticking point in their breakup. "I find this action ridiculous, but I'm ready to learn how the justice system works to defend myself," Desparois, 28, told QMI Agency. Criniti also admits the case might seem crazy, but she says Miley is worth it. "I don't have children, but I have a cat," said the 23-year-old nursing assistant.
Desparois and Criniti moved into a trailer in Mirabel, Que., north of Montreal, in 2011. Court documents say it was Criniti who had brought Miley into the relationship. The pair broke up this year, and Criniti claims she was locked out of the trailer in August when she tried to retrieve the cat. Two weeks later, Desparois received a letter ordering him to hand over the cat within 48 hour

"We did not perform as I expect or the citizens of this county expect us to," said Capt. Jim Berry. "We're going to correct that. Certainly I can understand why he was upset. I would be too."But they call this an "isolated incident." County dispatchers receiver more than 400,000 911 calls. They dispatch approximately 130,000.
