Man Accused of
Spray-Painting Three Goats
AP MAHOPAC, N.Y. (Nov. 28) - A man
broke into a barn on Thanksgiving morning,
spray-painted three pet goats and scattered pages of
pornographic magazines on the floor, apparently to
harass the property owner, police said Tuesday.
Drew Gagnon, 37, of Mahopac, was arrested the next
day and was charged with burglary, criminal trespass
and animal cruelty, said Lt. Brian Karst, of the
Carmel police force, which covers Mahopac. The man
who drove Gagnon to the barn, Douglas Bisio, 34, of
Mahopac, was charged with criminal facilitation,
police said.
"Obviously it's not an occurrence you see every
day," Karst said. "I think it was a
situation where this harassment got out of
hand."
He would not elaborate on past instances of
harassment or what the feud involved but said the
suspects were known to the property owner.
Gail Fiero, owner of the property on Croton Falls
Road, about 50 miles north of midtown Manhattan, said
of the goats, "They're our pets. We just want to
put this behind us."
Karst said he did not know specifically how the goats
were harmed, but The Journal News reported on its Web
site that a veterinarian said the goats became sick
after eating the magazine pages. The vet, Stacey
Dallas, also said the orange paint was on their
genitals and described the act as torture.
Gagnon and Bisio were released pending an appearance
in Carmel Town Court. The court date had not been set
as of Tuesday evening, and the court had no record of
lawyers for the men. Gagnon's telephone number was
unlisted, and there was no record of a phone for
Bisio.
Most of the charges against the men carry punishments
of up to a year in jail upon conviction.
