MIAMI (AP) -- A teenager was arrested early Sunday and accused of committing a string of gruesome cat mutilation deaths that had horrified residents of his Miami area community, authorities said.

For the past month, shocked pet owners in the Palmetto Bay and Cutler Bay neighborhoods have reported finding more than two dozen cats killed and mutilated. Some of the dead cats were missing fur and appeared to have been cut with a sharp, straight instrument, police said.

Tyler Weinman, 18, was taken into custody early Sunday at a party, police said. Weinman was charged with 19 counts of animal cruelty, 19 counts of improperly disposing of an animal body and four counts of burglary.

Police put the home of one of Weinman's parents under surveillance several weeks ago after receiving tips from community members, said Miami-Dade Police Department Maj. Julie Miller.

"This terrible time has drawn us together as a community, further emphasizing the importance of knowing our neighbors, communicating with each other, and always staying vigilant to suspicious activities whenever or wherever they may occur in our village," said Palmetto Bay Mayor Eugene Flinn.

Weinman was being questioned by police Sunday. It wasn't clear if he had an attorney. Messages left at phone numbers for his parents were not immediately returned.

In all, the deaths of more than 30 cats were under investigation, but Miller said some of those cats were likely killed by dogs. She said additional arrests might be forthcoming, but she declined to name other suspects.

"I sincerely hope that with his arrest, the residents will feel relieved and their cats will be safe once again," said State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle. "It is expected that the vicious crimes that have plagued these communities will not be repeated."

Hasn't there been numerous studies that linked behavior like this as a gateway to other crimes against humans (serial killers, rapists, etc.)

Sick kid but I hope he ultimately gets the help he needs.

Yeah, it usually leads to serial killers.....

Oh sure. They couldnt pin all the dead cats on the kid, so they go for the stereotypical suspect.. a poor defenseless dog... AND they are going to arrest them? What a sick terrible world we live in.

Where are famed dog lawyer Gloria Allbreed or dog activist Al Shar-pei when you need them?

I hope he gets raped in prison. Repeatedly.

Chances are the kid isn't going to do much in prison. First off he sounds like he's rich (one of the homes, guessing he might not be) and he's only 18 and I think this is his first offense so going by his crime he's going to be spending most of his time in a loony bin.

If they do put him in prison when he gets out in 20 years watch out because the kid is going to be a bigger nut job looking to kill people.

I honestly don't think people like this CAN be helped. Just put this POS in a cage with two tigers that haven't been fed in 4 days. Punishment to fit the crime for this bully sicko.

Think of it. The little prick likes cats so much match him up against a hungry Tiger. Mano y gato so to speak. :biggrin:

Seriously, I love the concept. Why not make it a variety of "cats"--lions, tigers, panthers, etc.--who fight over his flesh, pulling limbs from the body in a cat tug of war?
