Protest for Bandit Bandit, a rat terrier dog, was maliciously
killed in Arundel, ME in unfounded retaliation against Bandit's owner.
The person that did this allegedly broke into the pick-up truck where Bandit
was sleeping, grabbed the small dog, slit his throat, further mutilated
him and left him to die. Bandit was a devoted companion to his owners in
Kennebunk.
Case Updates Michael Morin of Biddeford will spend eight months behind
bars for killing a dog named Bandit outside a bar in Arundel last summer.
Update:
Morin, 47, pled guilty Thursday to one count of aggravated cruelty
to animals - a Class C felony. A separate charge of burglary of a motor
vehicle - a Class D misdemeanor - was dropped.
In addition to the jail time, Morin was ordered by the court to pay
the dog's owner, Ron Pelletier of Kennebunk, restitution in the amount
of $875. Morin will also be on probation for two years following the completion
of his sentence.
In a written statement released Thursday, Gonzalez thanked those who
turned out to support Pelletier and protest Bandit's death.
She also said, "Please remember that there are many animals out
there still that need us in one way or another. Please remember to support
your local (animal) organizations by volunteering, donating whatever you
can, whether it be money or supplies, and never be afraid to speak up."
