## Resource

Adrian Cruz, the man accused of brutally punching a cat to death in April, returned to court this past Thursday facing felony animal cruelty charges — and walked out silent, offering only “no comment.” The arrest, made in June after months of investigation, followed a tip from a neighbor who spotted the attack on their security footage. Despite being an aspiring EMT, Cruz’s mugshot remains hidden — because, officials say, animal cruelty isn’t classified as a violent crime. His case is now postponed until early August.
