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?

Take this "person" off the job. If he is this cruel and can kill these innocent cats than no doubt he abuses all he picks up.He is sick and needs to be in jail and pay a fine and be banned from ever working or owning an animal ever again!!!!

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.

It is encumbent upon the administration of the agency to address the issue. It cannot be brushed under the rug or whitewashed. This cop is a liability and not an asset. Consequences must be doled out. Please stay on this until justice is done.

Please fire the cruel person who killed a momma cat and her kittens. This person should never have a gun. Please tell me this is not your method of animal control.

Give a coward a gun and a little power and the majority revert to knuckle-dragging. Grasso needs to be FIRED IMMEDIATELY and never allowed to own another weapon. He has proven his IQ is lower than his shoe size, and he is an imminent threat to any species crossing his path!
