Actor Dimitri Diatchenko, who has made a career out of playing bad guys, was a real bad guy with his ex-girlfriend’s pet rabbit. Authorities said on Wednesday that he killed and cooked the rabbit and sent her photos of the animal with threats.
Authorities say that Diatchenko went to his ex-girlfriend’s house on Dec. 7 while she was out. He then took the rabbit and skinned it. Next, he allegedly cooked and ate it, sending her photos of each step. According to The Associated Press, the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office said that when she came home, he “allegedly told her he would do the same to her.”
Prosecutors say that the two lived together, even after their romantic relationship ended. She told him that they couldn’t be roommates any longer before the alleged incident.
The San Francisco native, 46, was charged on Tuesday with cruelty to an animal with a knife and making criminal threats, both felonies. He’s currently out on bail.
As The Daily News notes, Diatchenko played a Russian gangster on Sons of Anarchy. He is frequently hired for similar roles, even making an appearance in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. He’s voiced characters on Call of Dutyand other video games. image courtesy of Peter West/ACE/INFphoto.com
