William Ohlson carried a six-week-old kitten into a bank vestibule on Market Street in San Francisco on July 1. San Francisco Animal Care and Control and SFPD opened an investigation and worked to identify him. Washoe County Animal Services rescued her alive. Officers surrounded the home and went in with help from the department's Mobile Engagement Team and a Washoe County Sheriff's Office K-9 unit. The bail rule that let Ohlson walk free treated his kitten torture charge as nonviolent.
