KEY WEST, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say a man facing animal cruelty charges for dragging a potbellied pig down Key West's popular Duval Street was using the pig to meet women.
Authorities arrested 25-year-old Robert Anthony Adisano after an officer reportedly saw him dragging a squealing pig on its back over broken glass. The pig eventually died.
Authorities also removed another pig found living in squalor at his home.
Adisano faces a felony third-degree animal cruelty charge stemming from the alleged pig-dragging early Wednesday. Authorities on Thursday filed an additional animal cruelty charge for the second pig.
Adisano remains in Monroe County jail on $50,000 bond. His first court appearance has not been scheduled.
