Anderson and Hardin initially were arrested on felony animal cruelty charges. Those charges were dismissed Tuesday and Levco said he would file misdemeanor charges against the men.
That's disgusting. They shot the cat the day before and left it to suffer, came back the new day and finished it off and yet their charges are downgraded.
I don't know who is responsible for lowering the charges, the article isn't specific. But, I think Mr Levco, the Vanderburgh County Prosecutor, deserves to get a few letters reminding him that this is animal cruelty and deserves more than a misdemeanor charge.
Here's the address for the Prosecutor's web page -
