CEDAR RAPIDS -- A man accused of trying to kill a pet goat for his supper admitted his guilt Friday.
Timothy Ferguson, 19, of Ely, pleaded guilty to livestock abuse and possession of a controlled substance. He will be sentenced April 4.
Ferguson was arrested Oct. 30, 2002, after neighbors of Naomi Foshe, 2200 33rd Ave. SW, saw her pet goat tied to a tree and called police. When police arrived, they discovered the goat's throat had been cut.
Ferguson said he intended to eat the goat.
Foshe could not be reached for comment
