Woman accused in ferret death

NEW ROCHELLE The ferret was so badly injured it had to be put to death, police say.

Regina Bibona is charged with cruelty to animals. The 38-year-old woman is also accused of criminal mischief for breaking the roommate's eyeglasses and throwing them into a fish tank the night before throwing the ferret out the window. That's according to police Capt. Joseph Schaller (SHA-Ler).

Bibona is awaiting arraignment and no lawyer was listed for her at City Court. She has no telephone listing.

Schaller says he did not know the nature of the dispute.
