James Griffin abandoned his pet hedgehog in an apartment with no food or water. Hedgehog was found with rubberbands around her back feet causing causing loss of circulation and infection to both back feet. One of the feet was black. The little pet was found by the apartment manager. When Griffin returned to the vacant apartment for an appliance he was asked about the hedgehog. When he heard the hedgehog was still alive he wanted the hedgehog back.
The Palm Bay police report indicates Griffin stated, laughingly, he used rubberbands on the hedgehog's feet cause he used her as a bowling ball.
Griffin pled Nolo Contendere. Adjucation was withheld. He is sentenced to 100 hours of community service and three years probation, according to Brevard County court records.
