New Castle County police have arrested a teenager on charges of felony cruelty to animals.

Devon Young-Harris, 15, who resides in the unit block of S. Pennewell Drive in the Edgemoor Gardens community, was linked to setting a cat on fire and killing it in July of 2008.

Harris and a co-conspirator, Khalil Seals, 9, who was originally arrested, were among those reported to have been involved in the brutal killing of a feline.

In July, County officers responded to reports of a group of juveniles attempting to burn a cat, when police arrived they found charred remains and lighter fluid which was taken as evidence for further investigation which lead to the arrests.

Harris is being held at New Castle County police headquarters awaiting arraignment.
