Mason City, Iowa: Man Accused Of Killing Kitten by Throwing It Against the Wall

Jerrick Rinnels

A Mason City man decided to be a tough guy and threw a kitten against the wall, effectively killing the cat. Last Friday, 28-year-old Jerrick Rinnels was allegedly arguing with another person who was holding the cat. Rinnels is accused to taking the kitten from that person and slamming it against the wall. The kitten died before it could be taken to the veterinarian.

The police eventually arrested Rinnels the following day and charged him with one count of misdemeanor animal abuse.
