The troubled son of notorious  Long Island Lolita  Amy Fisher has been charged with killing his pet cat - possibly by putting it in the microwave, according to officials.

Brett Anthony Bellera, 25, and his girlfriend, Jennifer Armenti, 36, have both been charged with aggravated cruelty to animals after their cat, Reaper, was found burned to death in their apartment in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. in December 2024, according to the Broward County Sheriff's Office.

The cat suffered severe pain before it died from  involuntary heat exposure  - through either microwave radiation, being submerged in hot water or exposure to hot water vapor, according to a forensic necropsy performed by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), WPLG reported.

Bellera - Fisher's eldest son with her ex-husband, retired NYPD officer Louis Bellera - was charged while already behind bars on other charges, with his lengthy rap sheet including robbery and drug charges.

A friend of the couple had notified authorities of the cat's death on Dec. 15, 2024, according to their arrest affidavits.

Armenti claimed that she found the cat's body on the bathroom floor and believed he'd ingested cleaning products. However, animal care employees found the critter dead on the back patio in a massive pool of blood in a laundry basket.

After a long investigation, Armenti was arrested by police in Miramar on Wednesday and Bellera was charged earlier this month.

His lengthy rap sheet dating back seven years to when he was 18, including drug and robbery charges, according to records reviewed by the Daily Mail.
