A Fairfield man who is accused of killing one cat and torturing another is also accused of sending threatening and harassing texts to law enforcement and was arrested Monday.
Raymond Neuberger, 39, was arrested on Oct. 4, accused of assaulting and abusing a cat, which ultimately died of its injuries.
In August 2022, police started investigating after an emergency veterinarian clinic contacted them about a cat that was suffering from injuries that appeared to be suspicious. They said the cat had been covered in bleach and had physical injuries and neurological trauma. Officials determined that the cat died from injuries.
That investigation led to charges of third-degree assault, animal cruelty and disorderly conduct.
