WARREN — A Warren resident has been charged with one count of Cruelty to Animals Class D crime after Knox County Sheriff's deputies obtained a video that shows a cat being abused. 

The Sheriff's Office investigated the case on November 18, 2023, at approximately 5 p.m., and though the case remains ongoing, deputies identified and charged a suspect, Dylan Thornton, 20, of Warren.

Because the case is ongoing, more charges are possible.
