Police in West Whiteland Township say at around 4.40am Sunday, an officer spotted James Myers car parked in the middle of Dunwoody Drive with the driver's door ajar, according to a
press release put out Tuesday by the Chester County District Attorney's Office.
The officer says under the door he saw an injured black kitten with a rope around its neck and several teeth knocked out.
Myers allegedly tried to choke his pet, slammed his face into the ground and then painted the message 'SLAM IT YOU PU$$Y' on the pavement.
'This is a two pound kitten that would fit in the palm of my hand. He would take a kitten, a defenseless kitten, and torture it this way,' District Attorney Tom Hogan told the station
6ABC.
Police say they also seized nearly two dozen bundles of heroin, hundreds of used baggies and 46 of needles in the 24-year-old's car.
Authorities say at the veterinary clinic, Dr. Jennifer Magilto was able to revive the injured cat with an antidote for opium-based drug overdoses.
