Matthew Savinovich was arrested on charges of animal cruelty, burglary and criminal mischief (ed. His name is pronounced 'son of a bitch')
A New Jersey man was busted for killing his ex-girlfriend’s pet ferret and three Chihuahuas in upstate New York, authorities said.
Matthew Savinovich, 27, of Norwood, NJ, was arrested Wednesday in connection to an indictment charging him with killing the animals in Lake Peekskill — about an hour north of the city — during his relationship with his former flame from December 2019 to November 2020, the Putnam County SPCA said.
He was charged with one count of felony burglary, four counts of aggravated cruelty to animals as a felony, four counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty and four counts of felony criminal mischief, according to the SPCA.
He was also charged with failing to appear in Putnam Valley Court on other charges.
He was arraigned at the Putnam County Court and ordered held at Putnam County Jail in lieu of $100,000 cash or $500,000 bond.
Savinovich, who has an extensive criminal record, could spend at least five years behind bars, the SPCA said.
Multiple agencies were involved in the “lengthy investigation,” SPCA Chief Ken Ross said in a statement.
“The cooperation and help we received from all these agencies was an invaluable resource,” he said. “Studies have shown that those who commit animal cruelty eventually commit crimes against humans.”
