Oct 2017  – Michael Moskowitz, 53, of West Hampton Dunes, was arraigned on charge of felony animal cruelty with allegedly killing his mother’s elderly cat. It is alleged by the Suffolk County SPCA that Moskowitz tossed the cat into Moriches Bay because he didn’t want to pay to have it euthanized. A group of volunteers cleaning up garbage at the beach found the decomposed remains of the cat named Bonnie in its carrier.  Moskowitz faces up to two years in prison if convicted.
