A Virginia man has been charged with animal cruelty for skinning a guinea pig and making a head ornament out of it.
Charles Woodson, 40, of 405 E. Criser Road, Apt. 301, remains free on a $2,500 personal recognizance bond pending a March 23 return in Warren County General District Court.
Animal control officer Gerald L. Cubbage says in a criminal complaint form on file in court records that Woodson purchased the guinea pig from Noah's Ark Pet & Aquarium store in Front Royal.
"Charles Woodson was seen by neighbours wearing the skin of a guinea pig on his head," Cubbage says in the complaint form. If convicted of the class 1 misdemeanor, Woodson faces a maximum punishment of 12 months in jail and a $2,500 fine.
