Cheyenne Cherry, Confessed Kitten Killer, May Get 10+ Years.
Cheyenne Cherry, who confessed to roasting the kitten and trashing the apartment of an ex-roommate as a prank, is being charged as an adult with with cruelty to animals, multiple counts of burglary, arson and criminal mischief. She faces more than ten years in prison if convicted of all counts. Sadly it appears Ms. Cherry has a history of criminal behavior including robbery and armed dog-napping.
The teen accused in a Bronx kitty killing was busted last year in the armed dog-napping of a teacup Yorkie, police said.
Cheyenne Cherry’s boyfriend snatched the pooch from a woman in a Bronx park last June after holding a BB gun to her forehead, police said.
Days later, Cherry, 17, had the nerve to send friends to show up with the dog when a $500 reward was posted, the pooch’s owner said. “She’s evil,” Johan Castro, 23, said.
Despite her June 2008 arrest for larceny and extortion, along with two other busts, Cherry was released without bail after being charged with letting a friend’s kitten die inside a 200-degree oven.

“It was just a joke,” Cherry said after her arrest for robbing a man of his iPod at gunpoint. She pleaded guilty to robbery and got five years probation.Cherry also had a 2007 arrest for smacking a girl in the head with jewelry, police said.

“My sister is no cat killer,” said David Cherry. “Cheyenne is not an animal hater. She has a little Yorkie that she loves.”
…..
Sure, Mr. Cherry, she’s “no cat killer”. The fact that she admitted she did it and laughed it off apparently slipped your notice. Frankly she sounds like a budding case of antisocial personality who needs to be locked up long term and given extensive treatment before she’s released again–if she’s released again. But that’s just my opinion.
