WILKES-BARRE -- A Luzerne County judge gave a man jail time for killing his girlfriend's cat.
Donovan Mackey, 21, of Wilkes-Barre was sentenced Thursday to up to 18 months behind bars.
Officers say back in April he put the cat in a washing machine then turned it on. He then took the animal out, wrapped it in a bed sheet, and slammed it against a wall.
Mackey put the remains in a garbage bag and threw it out in the yard.
He pleaded guilty in September.
