An Arlington Heights man received 30 months probation after pleading guilty to a charge of aggravated cruelty to an animal in Rolling Meadows Third Municipal District on Monday.
Kevin Colabuono, 25, reportedly became enraged after a 4-month-old kitten belonging to his estranged girlfriend urinated on the floor of his residence in the 2100 block of S. Goebbert Road, last August, authorities said.
Colabuono slammed the kitten to the ground, killing it. He then discarded the remains in a Dumpster. As part of his $10,000 bond, Colabuono was ordered to have no contact with animals.
He must also perform 240 hours of community service as part of his plea, said Assistant State's Attorney Mike Andre.
