2 teens arrested for killing pets, stealing and burning car
KINSTON, N.C. (AP) — Authorities have accused two North Carolina teenagers of breaking into a home on Super Bowl Sunday, killing two pets and stealing a car and setting it on fire.
The Lenoir County Sheriff's Office says it charged 18-year-old Jordan Alexis Ruiz and a 17-year-old girl with multiple counts of a number of charges, including felony cruelty to animals.
Homeowner Mack Price told WITN-TV in Greenville that the teenagers killed his daughter's two parakeets and smeared blood all over the kitchen cabinets. Price said lighter fluid was also poured throughout the house.
Deputies said the two teens were arrested after they spoke with witnesses and located property stolen from the home.
