A 17-year-old in Texas has been accused of killing her classmate’s show goat. The teen reportedly told police that she “does not like cheaters.”
She was detained in late November and charged with cruelty to livestock, Williamson County court records show. She was released that same day on a $5,000 bond.
The charge is a state jail felony and carries a possible sentence of up to two years behind bars and a fine of as much as $10,000, the San Antonio Express-News reported.
Surveillance footage from Vista Ridge High School in Cedar Park shows the incident, which took place on October 23, an arrest affidavit obtained by the Austin-American Statesman revealed.
The footage shows a female student leaving the storage area at the school’s Future Farmers of America barn. The student was holding a syringe as she entered the goat pen, straddling the goat, and pushing the syringe into the animal’s mouth three times.
She left the barn but not before returning twice a day to take photos and a video, according to the Statesman .
