PHOENIX - A transient has been arrested after police say he skinned and ate a cat while camping inside a Phoenix warehouse and music venue.

Authorities say the building's owners reported a burglary after they opened the warehouse Wednesday and heard blaring music.

Police found 24-year-old Russell Christopher Hofstad inside with his face painted and the cat's tail and intestines around his neck.

Hofstad told police he killed the cat because he was hungry. He also said he was going to use its skeleton as party decorations.

He was arrested on suspicion of burglary and animal cruelty.

If he ate it- was it animal cruelty??? I dunno bout that one Phoenix PD/DA... Burgulary will stick, but the rest is just creepy- not illegal unless they can prove he tortured the animal. So creepy... I wonder what the arresting officer looked like when they saw this guy???
