GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Authorities say a north Florida man assaulted his ex-girlfriend, threatened her roommates and killed her kitten.
Gainesville police say 20-year-old Tamarcus Lamont Harper went to his ex-girlfriend's apartment early Sunday morning.
The woman told officers told police Harper kicked in her front door and attacked her. When she threatened to call 911, she says Harper threatened her and her two roommates.
The ex-girlfriend told police she left and went to work, but Harper was still in the apartment when she returned and another argument followed. At some point, the ex-girlfriend says Harper kicked the small cat, causing its death.
One of the roommates eventually called police.
Harper was arrested and charged with animal cruelty causing death, kidnapping, obstructing justice, resisting arrest, and three counts of battery.
