NEW YORK -- A 27-year-old Lockport man was charged Thursday evening with one count of cruelty to an animal by Lockport police.

According to the arrest report, a Webb Street woman accused Shawn K. Pittler of 39 Phelps St., Apt. 1, with violently striking a cat with a broom, “sending the cat flying in the air and striking the side of the house” on Sunday.
