Ohio man indicted for felony animal cruelty after cat killed during police chase.
A 22-year-old from Harrison Twp., Ohio, was indicted on December 3 for multiple felonies, including cruelty to companion animals, after he accidentally ran over and killed a cat while fleeing from police on November 7. The driver was caught after running a stop sign and attempting to evade arrest. Ohio's "Goddard's Law," expanded in October to protect all cats and dogs, allowed for the felony charge related to the animal's death.
