North Marin Water District Employee Held on Cat Abuse Charges

Corey Reed, 28, of Novato was arrested Saturday on one felony count and one misdemeanor count of attempted animal cruelty. It seems this sick human being poured antifreeze into food bowls that had been left for around 25 feral cats in the area. According to Carrie Harrington of the Humane Society, the animal group had "been working with water-district employees to control the feral-cat population in the area, but authorities don't believe that was a reason for the suspect's actions." We hope someone pours gasoline in Reed's food tray in the clink.
