""This defendant is accused of assaulting his girlfriend on prior occasions, then later killing a defenseless animal in a violent outburst," District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman said."
""That kind of criminal behavior will land you in prison. We will prove these charges in court and seek the full punishment under the law.""
Nikolas Hart, 25, is charged with felony animal cruelty and several misdemeanors after allegedly killing his girlfriend's rabbit, Momo, during a domestic violence incident. The incident occurred on February 11, where Hart is accused of stomping on the rabbit and disposing of it in a trash bag. The rabbit died from blunt force trauma. Hart has a history of assaulting his girlfriend and has pleaded not guilty. A protective order prohibits him from owning animals, and he faces up to eight years in prison if convicted.
