FORT MYERS, Fla. (Gray News/TMX) - A man is facing charges for allegedly killing a kitten by hurling it at the ground, and declaring his intention to kill more cats, according to authorities in Florida.
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office said deputies responded to a report of animal abuse in Fort Myers, Florida. Witnesses at the scene told deputies the suspect, identified as 24-year-old Alfonso Alexander Perez Nas, was drinking alcohol and violently threw a kitten to the ground, killing it.
Nas allegedly “held the kitten to the sky and said he was going to put on some music and kill more cats,” the sheriff’s office said.
The sheriff’s office shared a video that shows Nas standing over a hole with a shovel, smiling and waving the dead kitten around in the air. Another clip shows deputies later digging in the spot to retrieve the kitten’s remains.
Nas was arrested and booked into the Lee County Jail on a charge of aggravated animal cruelty.
