MIAMI — A South Florida teenager was arrested early Sunday and accused of killing and mutilating the cats of his neighbors in two Miami-area communities.
Tyler Hayes Weinman, 18, was taken into custody at a party, police said. He was charged with 19 felony counts of animal cruelty, 19 misdemeanor counts of improperly disposing of an animal body and four felony counts of burglary related to the cat deaths.
Some of the dead cats were missing fur — neighbors said some had been skinned — and appeared to have been cut with a sharp, straight instrument, police said.
