Motorist caught running cat over spared jail

A MAN who was caught on closed circuit cameras repeatedly driving his car over a cat was spared jail yesterday.

Barry Haggerty, a 58-year-old chartered surveyor, from Olney in Buckinghamshire, was heading for work when he ran over the animal on April 12.

He returned to the scene and drove forwards and backwards over the cat as it thrashed around in pain, eventually killing it.
