Man Dumps Kitten; Warrant Issued

Noble, OK -- We've all seen it, or at least heard about it - pet owners grow weary of their domesticated furry friends and opt to abandon them on some out of the way country road. But, did you know that's a crime?

According to the Cleveland County Sheriff's department that very act now has a Lexington Oklahoma resident in hot water.

Court records show that on October 30, Paul W. Hunt, 52, was witnessed by a woman to stop his "red car" and take "a kitten out of his trunk and threw him on the ground."

When officers arrived they met up with Hunt who admitted to dumping the kitten.

Today, a warrant was issued for Hunt's arrest in connection with the incident.

UPDATE: On 5/17/07 the case was dismissed.
