Lock ’em up and throw away the keys! A Chicago man has been arrested for allegedly torturing and killing cats.
Authorities say Thomas Martel, 22, turned himself in to police Monday after a woman accused him of animal cruelty. He now faces four felony counts of aggravated animal cruelty and two felony counts of animal torture, Fox News Chicago reported.
He is accused of drowning and squeezing two cats to death and killing a third by mutilation, authorities said.
A kitten was found by police officers in a plastic bag at Martel’s apartment. The woman who filed a complaint against him said the cat had been put in the microwave.
An arrest report obtained by the news outlet said Martel had been taking prescribed medications and had serious mental health issues.
