A Bloomington man who allegedly kicked a chihuahua he was dogsitting in February was arrested Sunday on a warrant.
Thomas Herbin, 33, is charged with torture of vertebrate animals, a misdemeanor.
On Feb. 2, the chihuahua’s owner reported to police that her chihuahua had been seriously injured by an apparent kick to its left side, Bloomington Police Department Capt. Steve Kellams said. She told police she believed Herbin, who had been watching the dog, kicked it.
The responding officer was unable to locate Herbin at the time and requested a warrant for his arrest. He served the warrant Sunday at Herbin’s residence.
