Kara Kopetsky’s ex-boyfriend facing animal-abuse charges

The ex-boyfriend of missing Belton teen Kara Kopetsky is now facing animal-abuse charges, according to Fox 4. Police arrested 22-year-old Kylr Yust on Sunday.
Last week, Yust pleaded guilty to a domestic-violence charge unrelated to the Kopetsky case.
The latest charges stem from a pair of incidents in July in which Yust allegedly killed three kittens, repeatedly slamming one on a floor and putting the other two in a sack and throwing them in a creek.
