A Batavia man charged in a horrific case of animal cruelty will avoid jail time and spend five years on probation.
Firefighters were called to 42 year old Darren Annovi’s home when a neighbor spotted smoke. They found his cat being cooked in his oven. Local ASPCA officials say they confirmed the cat was alive when Annovi stuffed it into the oven.
Annovi has had mental issues for some time and animal advocates had been hoping he would serve some prison time.
