Postal Worker Charged In Pasadena Peacock Attack

A U.S. Postal Service worker, Charanjit Singh, pleaded not guilty on Friday to a misdemeanor animal-cruelty charge. The charge stems from an alleged attack on a white peacock named Sugar in a Pasadena neighborhood on August 18. The incident, which was captured on video, caused significant public outcry. The bird was treated for injuries and subsequently relocated to Northern California. Singh is scheduled for a pretrial hearing on January 26.
