WESTLAND, Mich. -- A Westland teenager has been charged with sodomizing, torturing and killing a cat.
Police said Todd Allan Treviso, 18, was staying at a friend's house in the 2000 block of Stieber, near Wildwood and Palmer streets on April 4 when the alleged incident took place.
The cat, named Magic, was left to die on a neighbor's front porch. The cat's mouth was duct-taped shut, police said.
Police said Traviso has had "a troubled past."
If convicted, he could face penalties ranging up to 15 years in prison.
