A Mesa man who killed a 6-week-old kitten after a pet python refused to eat it last year was given three years of supervised probation on Friday.
Jeremy Tuffly, 29, pleaded guilty May 11 in Maricopa County Superior Court to one count of cruelty to animals, a Class 2 felony, court records show.
The charge followed after Maricopa County Sheriff's Office deputies learned of a DVD showing Tuffly repeatedly throwing the kitten at the python in an attempt to get the snake to attack it, according to MCSO.
When the python failed to eat the kitten, Tuffly kicked it across the yard, authorities previously said. The kitten then died.
