Felony charge against Mr. Grasso have been dismissed. His next hearing has been moved to the nearby town of West Seneca, NY. A hearing date has yet to be scheduled.
Lackawanna animal control officer was arrested Friday after an SPCA investigation determined he shot three stray cats, authorities said.
Frederick S. Grasso, 60, who is charged with aggravated animal cruelty, is accused of killing two kittens and their mother Tuesday at an apartment complex on Eagan Drive in Lackawanna.
Grasso, who will be arraigned in Lackawanna City Court, could face two years in jail and be fined $5,000.
A resident of the apartment complex initially called the SPCA to report strays prowling outside the building, and Barbara Carr, executive director of the SPCA, said the SPCA began receiving tips about the shootings Tuesday night.
On Friday, SPCA Animal Cruelty Investigator Charles Braun lodged the felony charges against Grasso.
It is believed that Grasso disposed of the cats in a landfill, authorities said. End.
Lackwanna Mayor Norman Polanski responded by saying this case is a publicity stunt by the SPCA?

Thank you for taking the time to review this, we look forward to hearing from you.
This murderer should pay for his crime; and be kept away from animals.
So, these people earn money from shooting innocent animals? I'd shoot them, if it were up to me, but at least they should be arrested and made to pay for what they've done. They're SICK!!!
I just received this information about one of your officers killing innocent kittens and their mother.Why is he still working for you? Give the job to someone who will do their job right! Its up to YOU to make sure something like this doesn't happen again.If myself or a neighbor would do something like this we'd be in jail.This kind of thing reflects on all of you!You ready to take the blame also?! Get him out of there and give the job to a person who is caring and not heartless like this idiot!!
If this is what animal cps do, close the "business".
This person should be charged with cruelty to animals, and he should certainly not be employed in any position of authority. Get rid of him now! His actions are disgusting to any normal person.
Why is this animal control officer still on the job?
This is the 2nd animal cop in 6 months who assaulted/killed an animal in the Western NY area.
Animal cruelty should be stopped and the killers must be punished.
An officer maliciously kills and disposes of cats and is still working? Officers of the law are held to the same standards as non-officers, and he must be charged accordingly; this is an inexcusable action, and being an officer, Grasso must not be allowed to continue working: he is obviously not mentally stable. If he can kill cats so brutally, what will he do when confronted by a human, such as a child? I am shocked he is still working and carrying weapons and being exposed to innocent humans: this is a rather frightening prospect.
