An Everett man is facing eight felony charges after neighbors reported him for shooting birds and squirrels around his property, and in one instance, shooting and seriously injuring a neighbor's cat. Blayne M. Perez faces seven charges of first-degree animal cruelty and one charge of first-degree malicious mischief. The charges stem from a neighbor's report to Everett police in January 2022 that Perez shot birds and squirrels and then displayed the dead animals around his property.
