Lawrence Police cited a 22-year-old Lawrence man for cruelty to animals earlier this month after he allegedly threw a pet rabbit off a balcony while at a party at Hawks Pointe apartments in the 1400 block of West Seventh Street.

Detective David Anderson, a police spokesman, said the incident happened while the rabbit's owner, a 19-year-old Kansas University student, was out of town and her roommates were having a party.

Partygoers found the rabbit on the ground below, wrapped it in a blanket and brought it back inside, but it was found dead in its cage the next morning, Anderson said.

The man was ordered to appear in municipal court.
