Man Accused of Spray-Painting Goats

MAHOPAC — A man broke into a barn on Thanksgiving morning, spray-painted three pet goats and scattered pages of pornographic magazines on the floor, apparently to harass the property owner, police said yesterday. Drew Gagnon, 37, of Mahopac, was arrested the next day and was charged with burglary, criminal trespass and animal cruelty, said Lt. Brian Karst, of the Carmel police force, which covers Mahopac. “Obviously it’s not an occurrence you see every day,” Mr. Karst said. Gail Fiero, owner of the property on Croton Falls Road, about 50 miles north of midtown Manhattan, said of the goats, “They’re our pets. We just want to put this behind us.” Most of the charges against the man carry punishments of up to a year in jail upon conviction.
