A $20,000 reward prompted a tip that led to the arrests of two men on suspicion of killing a 13-year-old girl’s pet horse, which was chased down and killed in its fenced pasture in April.
“When the reward got that high, that is when the phones started ringing. That is how the case got solved,” Jim Mickelson, whose daughter owned the horse Gentle Song, said Monday.
Sonoma County Sheriff’s Lt. Bruce Rochester said Liobijildo Guzman Herrera, 22, and Noel Guido-Silva, 21, were arrested Friday on felony cruelty to animal charges.
