New Jersey Man Accused of Eating Raccoons

Authorities say a Monmouth County man illegally trapped and ate raccoons and squirrels.

Police have charged 30-year-old Aleksandr Borykan of Ocean Township with animal cruelty. The state also charged him with illegal use of a leg hold trap, hunting without a license and hunting out of season.

Detective Lt. Kevin Faller tells the Asbury Park Press a resident in the townhouse complex where Borykan lives reported finding animal carcasses.
