An Upper Bern Township father and son have been charged with animal cruelty after a Hamburg-area resident reported seeing a kitten tossed out of the passenger window of a car.
According to reports, 61 yaer old Allen J. Heckman and 20 year old Aaron J. Heckman were charged by summons on June 25 by a state police from the Hamburg station.
Both men waived a preliminary hearing Monday before a District Judge in Hamburg and remain free awaiting further court action.
The criminal complaint states that a Tilden Township resident saw Heckman’s vehicle going past his property on Old Route 22 on June 18. He said an occupant threw a kitten out the passenger widow while the car was moving.
