Authorities: teen arrested in Fla. cat mutilations

MIAMI (AP) - An 18-year-old man was arrested early Sunday and accused of committing a string of gruesome cat mutilation deaths that had horrified residents of his Miami area community, authorities said.

Tyler Weinman was taken into custody early Sunday, the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office said. Weinman was charged with 19 counts of animal cruelty, 19 counts of improperly disposing of an animal body and four counts of burglary.

"I sincerely hope that with his arrest, the residents will feel relieved and their cats will be safe once again," said State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle. "It is expected that the vicious crimes that have plagued these communities will not be repeated."

Weinman was in police custody Sunday. It wasn't clear if he had an attorney. Messages left at phone numbers for his parents were not immediately returned.

Shocked pet owners in the Palmetto Bay and Cutler Bay neighborhoods have reported finding cats killed and mutilated over the past month. Investigators have been looking into about two dozen cat deaths. Some of the dead cats were missing fur and appeared to have been cut with a sharp, straight instrument, police said.

"This terrible time has drawn us together as a community, further emphasizing the importance of knowing our neighbors, communicating with each other, and always staying vigilant to suspicious activities whenever or wherever they may occur in our village," said Palmetto Bay Mayor Eugene Flinn.

I'd rather smear him with his own blood.

He should be licked to death by a million tiny little raspy cat tongues. On TV.
