An Androscoggin County man has been charged in connection with shooting and killing a cat, police said.
Jake Cyr, 34, of Greene allegedly shot the cat five times.
The animal was discovered by Animal Control Officer Rich Burton not far from Cyr’s residence.
Neighbors led cops to Cyr.
Burton said he had been sent to the area for a report of an injured cat.
When he began questioning neighbors, he said he was told that Cyr had the cat and planned to shoot it.
Cyr has disputed Burton’s account, claiming the cat had been struck by a car and was in pain.
