JOLIET — Police say an angry boyfriend hit a woman and killed her pet bird early Friday.

Chief Mike Trafton said Samuel Bermudez, 38, and his girlfriend were arguing when Bermudez became irate, slapped the woman and punched her.

“He then threw a birdcage at the wall, killing the parakeet inside,” Trafton said.

Bermudez, of 506 W. Bellarmine Drive in Joliet, was booked into the county jail on charges of domestic battery and aggravated cruelty to animals.
