Detroit man accused of posting video of him torturing, burning raccoon

A Detroit man is accused of burning and torturing a raccoon and posting a video of the alleged incident online. 

Henry Bernard Montgomery, 38, was arraigned Monday afternoon on one count of third-degree killing/torturing animals and given a $20,000 bond with a GPS tether. 

Wayne County prosecutors allege that on June 17, Montgomery tortured and burned a raccoon at a home in the 12000 block of Washburn Street in Detroit and posted a video on social media of the animal being burned alive.

Montgomery was arrested by Detroit police on June 20 following an investigation. 

"It is hard for one to imagine what kind of preverse pleasure was being had here by the defendant's alleged conduct. I would say that this this case has unbelievable facts, but unfortunately that would not be a true statement. I should be surprised but I am not, said Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy in a statement.

Montgomery is due back in court on July 1 for a probable cause conference. A preliminary examination is set for July 8.
