Union County Sheriff’s officers say three men have been arrested in connection with the fatal stabbing and mutilation of a pet llama.

James Robert Lee, 18; Alexander Samuel Clark, 20; and Cody Wyatt Bray, 22; have been charged with felony breaking and entering, felony larceny, second-degree trespassing and felony cruelty to animals, arrest records indicate.


This llama, Mighty, was killed last week.

Authorities say the three men trespassed Wednesday onto Borderline Farms, a llama and alpaca farm on South Rocky River Road in Monroe. Lt. Greg Thomas said the men were charged in connection with the stabbing and mutilation of one of the llamas on the farm.

Tammy Limer, president of Borderline Farms, said her half-dozen llamas are meant to protect her 60 alpacas, which she shears once a year for fur.
