Derik Wilhelm threw cats from car at 70 mph
Part-time Castalia police officer, Derik Wilhelm, has been charged with throwing two kittens out the window of his car while heading toward Lorain at 70 mph.
Erie County Sheriff's deputies have also charged Wilhelm with two counts of animal cruelty and two counts of abandoning animals. We request a vigorous prosecution, that Wilhelm serve the longest possible jail term, pay the necessary fines and have mandatory psychological counseling.
