Student who 'poured boiling water on his dog for peeing on the floor' charged with felony

A college athlete has been accused of throwing boiling water on his dog after the animal urinated on the floor.

Kyle Voissem, 20, a criminal justice major at the University of Illinois at Chicago, was originally charged with misdemeanor animal cruelty for the October 18 incident.

But due to the severity of the burns, charges have been upgraded to a felony, Assistant Cook County State’s Attorney Lorraine Scaduto said today, Friday.
