A Brevard County man has been arrested for animal cruelty, the sheriff says

An animal abuse suspect will face a Brevard County judge Thursday.

Deputies released video Wednesday showing the arrest of 18-year-old Kieran McKinney.

Investigators said the videos show McKinney spraying water into a cat carrier while it was inside.

Deputies learned about it after responding to another case where they say he threw a cat off a third-floor balcony.

Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey says this behavior will not be tolerated.
