Teen gets prison sentence for fatal alpaca beating

[XanaDUer]

HAMILTON — A Madison Twp. teenager has been sentenced to prison for the theft and fatal beating of a 3-month-old alpaca last winter.
Marcus Miller, 18, was sentenced to 14 months behind bars this morning by Butler County Common Pleas Court Judge Keith Spaeth. He was convicted of breaking and entering, tampering with evidence, vandalism and grand theft following a November jury trial. He faced a nine and one half years in prison.

Miller, Nicholas Reynolds, 19, and Stacie Mullins, 23, stole the animal — named Masterpiece and valued at $8,000 — from Jeff Pergram’s Browns Road Farm in January 2010

1. It's pity they won't keep him in there for the maximum time

Punks like that start with animals and move on to children and then women.

3. Animal abuse & torture is often a 'gateway' to something even worse. Now he

has a record.

4. I don't understand how anyone can bring themselves to do such a thing.

I agree with the other comments, this is might be just the beginning for this evil person.

5. If he learns to throw a football while in prison, he can make it on the outside. And

then we can like him and say "He did his time, and now he's rehabilitated."

9. Hey tough guy - next time go to the zoo and climb into the tiger enclosure

Or climb under the fence enclosing a bull. Pick on an animal that can fight back.

I hate morons like this jerk. We've had several incidents in my area of llamas and a pony being shot.
