A 23-year-old man in North Dakota was arrested over the weekend over an alleged domestic dispute with his girlfriend in which he struck her multiple times and tortured her pet cat to death in a horrific fashion, tossing the animal’s remains in a nearby dumpster and telling his girlfriend it would be “her next.”
The girlfriend reportedly told police that the conflict began when Perez became angry with her for not returning home from work early enough because he needed to borrow her cellphone. Upset with his girlfriend not being home, Perez allegedly sent her a photo of him holding her cat over a lit burner atop her stove.
But that was only the beginning of what he allegedly did to the animal.
After burning the cat on the stove, Perez reportedly bashed the animal in the head with a speaker, causing the animal to start having seizures. Per the report, Perez began to choke the animal with his bare hands but was unable to kill the cat. He then burned one of the cat’s paws with a lighter before finally sticking the feline in the microwave and turning it on, ultimately killing it.
After allegedly killing the cat, the girlfriend said Perez tossed her pet’s remains into a dumpster near the home and told her “that would happen to her next,” KVLY reported.
Perez is also accused of physically assaulting his girlfriend on Sunday, slapping her in the face, attempting to lock her in a closet, and breaking her cellphone when she tried to call 911. Police at the scene reportedly noted the victim had bruises on her eye, cheek, and arm.
