Alejandro Oliveros Acosta, a 46-year-old man from Santa Ana, is charged with animal cruelty for allegedly killing and maiming around 20 cats. After skipping his arraignment hearing, a warrant for his arrest was issued. Animal activists and the community expressed strong opposition to his actions, prompting officials to classify him as a significant danger. His bail was initially set at $40,000 and was sought to be increased to $100,000. If convicted, Acosta faces a maximum sentence of five years and four months.
