He is charged with 4 counts of aggravated cruelty to animals and 2 counts of animal abuse, all felonies.
Martel apparently drowned and squeezed 2 cats to death while a 3rd passed away by mutilation, authorities said. A kitten was discovered by policeman in a plastic bag at Martel’s apartment or condo.
The lady who reported him said the cat had actually been microwaved. Each of the kittens that died were called Shelly.
An arrest report obtained by the news outlet said Martel had actually been taking proposed medications and had severe psychological health concerns.
