James Littlefield was arrested Sunday afternoon. An Eau Claire County deputy was called out to Mitchell Road after a resident reported seeing a man kicking something in the ditch. When she confronted him, he said the cat attacked him. He then left quickly on his bicycle.
The deputy located Littlefield, who had a backpack that he said he used to hold a cat. The deputy found the animal in the ditch, barely alive. It had to be put down.
Littlefield told the deputy, "I did not kill the cat, I just took care of the problem."
