Red Bank Police Department Investigating Pulse Writer Max Gerskin

Red Bank police said Monday they are investigating animal cruelty allegations against a contributor to a weekly publication who has written about launching a "feline jihad" to rid his neighborhood of stray cats.

Max Gerskin of 3616 Oakland Terrace is credited with a two-part series in the Chattanooga Pulse about his alleged attack on local strays. The first installment, "Madder Max: The Cat Lady and My New Dog," was published Aug. 9, and the second, "Feline Jihad: The Cat Lady, Part II," on Wednesday.

In his commentary, Mr. Gerskin said the strays fed by a "neighborhood cat lady" have brought filth and disease to his home, and the "Red Bank Humane Society was somehow completely unable to help."

As a result, he writes, "I’ve officially become a trapper and it’s time to take a walk to the river."

From today's Times Free Press.

Max's response to the allegations will run in this week's Pulse.
