Naked Man Imprisoned For Beating Car With Pigeon

SUFFOLK, Va. -- A man who took off his clothes and beat a dead pigeon on a car outside a home in Suffolk, Va., has been sentenced to a year in prison for animal cruelty.

Juan Pablo Lopez, of Virginia Beach, who was 30 years old at the time of the incident last July, was sentenced Monday by a Suffolk judge.

Lopez pleaded guilty last year to burglary, obstruction of justice and animal cruelty. He received no time for the burglary and obstruction charges.

Police said Lopez broke into a home, destroyed birdcages and freed some chickens and pigeons and killed several of them.

When the homeowners pulled into their driveway, police said they saw Lopez come running out naked. They said he bashed a dead bird against the homeowners' car and ran away.
