BELLFLOWER'S "WILD KIM" NAZATO CHARGED WITH FELONY ANIMAL CRUELTY CHARGES IN "COURAGE" THE GERMAN SHEPARD CASE

BELLFLOWER – A 26-year-old woman accused of nearly starving her dog to death was charged in a felony criminal complaint filed today by the District Attorney’s Office.

Kimberly Kimiko Nizato (aka: Wild Kim) was charged with one felony count of cruelty to an animal.

Immediately after the case was filed, her attorney requested that she be arraigned and the court agreed.

Nizato pleaded not guilty. She is due back in Department 3 of Bellflower Superior Court on May 25. She remains free on $20,000 bail.

A severely emaciated adult German Shepherd owned by the defendant was rescued from her home on April 6. The veterinarian who examined the dog determined there was no evidence of food in his system, but hair, dirt and rocks were found in the stomach, authorities said.

Nizato worked in the veterinary field at the time of the alleged offense. The dog, formerly known as Bosco, has been renamed Courage. Courage is recovering and gaining weight without assistance from medication, according to authorities.

The defendant faces a maximum prison term of three years, if convicted as charged.

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
