A man has been charged with animal cruelty after a Florida homeowner discovered a box containing two severed cat heads on their mailbox, according to authorities.

Police were called to a Bonita Springs home on Thursday, March 13, after the homeowner made the “disturbing discovery,” per a statement from the Lee County Sheriff's Office (LCSO).

Due to the nature of the incident, the department’s Animal Cruelty Task Force was called to assist detectives on the scene.

The LCSO said “state-of-the-art” technology, including license plate readers (LPR), was used to examine the scene, and officers ultimately arrested 37-year-old Robert James Luther III.

According to the LCSO, detectives found evidence linking Luther to the crime, including "disturbing cell phone videos" in which Luther “[makes] mention" of and “depicts” the deceased cats.

Luther was booked on two counts of aggravated animal cruelty and two counts of aggravated stalking, per the LCSO's public booking records.
