Virginia man kills pet kitty because it disconnected his video game
June 4th, 2010 - 4:30 pm ICT by ANIMelbourne, June 4 (ANI): A Virginia man hurled his kitty at a wall and killed it after the pet somehow disconnected his video game.
Bruce Walston, 21, is facing an animal cruelty charge for allegedly killing his girlfriend’s black kitten by throwing it against a wall in their apartment, according to the Staunton Police Department report.
His girlfriend, Bessie Hess, called cops about the incident, which occurred in front of her children.
According to reports by The Daily Telegraph, Walston told cops that he was “arguing with Bessie over the cats disconnecting his video game at which time he picked up the kitten and threw it against the wall.”
On the cops’ arrival, the dead pet “was laying on the front porch.”
Walston was charged with animal cruelty and disorderly conduct, both misdemeanors and was booked into the Middle River Regional Jail, where he is being held without bond. (ANI)
