James Barnes, 22, a former Baylor University student arrested in the bizarre case of two dead cats found hanging from a utility line, killed both cats with a pellet gun and recorded himself throwing the cats over the line, an arrest warrant affidavit states.
Barnes was arrested on May 30 in Waco and charged with cruelty to a non-livestock animal.
“Baylor University is aware that a former Baylor student has turned himself in to the Waco Police Department – taking responsibility for a situation the University maintains is abhorrent and does not reflect Baylor’s Christian values,” Baylor University wrote in a statement emailed to KWTX.
“We can confirm the individual graduated on May 17, and any other questions regarding the individual should be directed to the Waco Police Department.”
On May 20, Waco Animal Control received a call about two dead cats hanging from telephone wires. The dead animals were found in the 1700 block of S. 9th Street near Bagby Avenue.
Ciara Dunlap was driving past the intersection when her teenaged son pointed out something strange, what he thought was a pair of shoes hanging from a telephone wire. But, it wasn’t shoes.
“As we were passing up the residence, he said ‘momma, there’s cats up there,’” she explained.
An arrest warrant states two dead cats were found tied with a piece of string with a shoe attached to one end.
“The cats were removed and an autopsy revealed that both cats had been shot in the head prior to being tied to the shoe and thrown over the line,” police wrote in the warrant.
A Waco police detective received many tips indicating Barnes was the person responsible, and when the detective attempted to call Barnes, he instead received a call from Barnes’ attorney, who said his client would not be allowed to speak about the incident.
The detective then spoke with two members of a local fraternity who both alleged Barnes killed the cats with a pellet gun, the warrant states.
After he had killed the cats, he brought them to a house located on S 9th and him [Barnes] and another person recorded each other repeatedly trying to throw the cats over the lines until they finally were successful,” the detective wrote in the warrant.
Barnes is being held at the McLennan County Jail on a $20,000 bond
