SANTA ANA, Calif.—A 38-year-old man pleaded guilty May 2 and was immediately sentenced to six months in jail for slamming a cat against the windshields of cars in Huntington Beach, killing the feline.
Beau Browning Watson pleaded guilty to cruelty to animals and two counts of vandalism, all misdemeanors. Watson accepted a plea deal from Orange County Superior Court Judge Craig Robison, over the objections of prosecutors that reduced the charges from felonies to misdemeanors.
