TRINIDAD - Three of the four people allegedly responsible for the death of Sally the llama have been arrested.Cody Kissman, 18, and a 17-year-old boy were arrested on Monday and are facing felony animal cruelty charges.
On Tuesday morning, another 17-year-old boy turned himself into the Trinidad Police Department. He is facing a felony charge of conspiracy to commit cruelty to animals.
A necropsy revealed the llama was shot with a bow and arrow and then its neck was slashed. Trinidad Police say one of the unnamed juveniles shot the llama before Kissman cut the animal's neck.
A fourth suspect may be charged.
Sally had gotten loose from its owner's home near Trinidad State Junior College. Police say the llama caused a "nuisance."
