U.S. Postal Worker Pleads Not Guilty in Pasadena Peacock Attack Case
A U.S. Postal Service worker, Charanjit Singh, has pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor animal-cruelty charge. The charge stems from an alleged attack on a white peafowl, nicknamed Sugar, which occurred on August 18 on Mohawk Street in Pasadena. The incident, captured on video, caused significant upset among residents in the neighborhood where Sugar had been a long-time presence. Following the alleged attack, the Pasadena Humane Society provided medical treatment for Sugar's injuries, which included swelling but no broken bones. The bird was subsequently relocated to Northern California. Singh was formally charged on October 1.
