Man accused of causing the death of a cat
Wheaton, IL (US)

Incident Date: Tuesday, Oct 25, 2011
County: Du Page

Charges: Felony CTA
Disposition: Alleged

Alleged: David J. Potts

A St. Charles man accused of causing the death of a cat is scheduled to appear in court next week.

David J. Potts, 33, of St. Charles has been charged with aggravated criminal to animals, a felony, according to police and court records.

Wheaton Deputy Police Chief Tom Meloni said this week Potts was arrested Dec. 17 on a warrant after police said he "committed an act which caused" death to the cat, who belonged to an acquaintance.

The cat died at a veterinarian's office after an incident that occurred on Oct. 25 at the Wheaton Center Apartments, Meloni said, but he declined to offer more details about what happened.

Investigators "developed enough probable cause to obtain a warrant for the arrest of Potts," Meloni said.

Potts remains in the DuPage County Jail in lieu of $2,500 bond. His court date is scheduled for Jan. 3, according to DuPage County Court records.
