A Nevada man who allegedly tortured and killed a kitten in San Francisco was arrested on suspicion of animal abuse, police said Thursday.<\/p>\n
On July 2, police became aware of an investigation by San Francisco Animal Care and Control regarding a case near Octavia Boulevard and Market Street.<\/p>\n
Investigators believe that on July 1, a man entered a bank ATM vestibule in the 1800 block of Market Street around 2 a.m. with a small, 6-week-old black kitten and “proceeded to violently torture the animal to death,” police said.<\/p>\n
The man then fled with the dead animal.<\/p>\n
Animal control identified the suspect as William Ohlson, 33, a resident of Reno, Nevada.<\/p>\n
Officers located Ohlson at a hotel in the 100 block of Fell Street and on Tuesday they attempted to execute a search warrant and take him into custody. However, he allegedly fled and a police drone detected him on the roof of an adjacent apartment. The fire department was called to assist with removing Ohlson from the roof, police said.<\/p>\n
Ohlson was eventually booked into jail on suspicion of animal abuse and neglect and evading police. As of Thursday, he was no longer in custody, according to jail logs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Nevada man who allegedly tortured and killed a kitten in San Francisco was arrested on suspicion of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27190,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[101,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":["post-401106","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401106","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=401106"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401106\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27190"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=401106"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=401106"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=401106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
