WASHINGTON CITY, Utah – Police in Washington City, have identified the person responsible for shooting a cat last week.

Police have identified a teenage boy from the area as the person responsible for shooting a cat, said Ed Kantor with Washington City Public Safety Wednesday.

Feb. 5, animal services took a cat that had been shot with an arrow in the nasal area and through its back. The arrow was removed and the cat is recovering.

Sufficient information was provided by someone in the community and led to identifying the teen, Kantor said

"It is a good thing for the community to address these issues and I feel it was very successful this time," Kantor said.

A motive has not been identified at this time, Kantor said. The case has been referred to the juvenile court.
