Canton is located about 170 miles from Springfield. Canton Police Department Media Relations Officer Lt. Dennis Garren told VERIFY that "this incident has nothing to do with what was reported in Springfield, Ohio."
Furthermore, Garren said, "We have no reason to believe that he is not a US citizen. He has lived in Canton for many years." According to court records from Stark County, where Canton is located, Ferrell has court records dating back to at least 2017.
Ferrell is also a registered voter in Stark County, according to the Ohio Secretary of State's office. To vote in Ohio, one must be a citizen of the United States.
So, we can CERTIFY that this video does not show a Haitian immigrant in Springfield being arrested for killing and eating a cat.

Karen Graves, spokesperson for the City of Springfield, called the claims about Springfield a "rumor."
"There are no credible reports or specific claims of pets being hurt, harmed, or abused by individuals within the immigrant community," Graves told VERIFY. "Additionally, there are no verified instances of immigrants engaging in illegal activities such as squatting or littering in front of residents' homes. Furthermore, no reports have been made of members of the immigrant community deliberately disrupting traffic."
