Cat Punching Suspect Back in Court | Sacramento News

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.
