4 Comments · Posted by beerorkid in animals, Lincoln News
A Lincoln man was cited on suspicion of animal cruelty Sunday morning for allegedly confining a kitten in a makeshift bong.
Deputies with the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office were attempting to take Acea Schomaker, 20, 5700 Saltillo Road, into custody on a warrant for marijuana possession and they observed him smoking marijuana from a clear plastic plexiglas container measuring 12 inches by 6 inches, said Chief Deputy Bill Jarrett. And trapped inside the box, which was secured with duct tape, was a one-year-old kitten named Shadow.
Schomaker allegedly told the deputies he put the kitten in the bong because it was out of control and needed to be calmed down,
The kitten was taken to the Capital Humane Society, and Schomaker was cited on suspicion of animal cruelty and was jailed on the warrant.
Seems this might piss the internets off like Kenny Glenn
UPDATE: Fox News picked up the story.
