A metro man admitted to killing his girlfriend's cat while being booked into jail for domestic assault. 

The man was arrested after police responded to a Warr Acres home after a woman dialed 911 while inside her locked bathroom. She told dispatchers her boyfriend, Jacob Heaton, was on the other side of the door and was armed with a gun. 

In the background of a 911 call Heaton is heard making threats. 

The call captured Heaton unleashing a verbal assault on his girlfriend. It lasted several minutes before police arrived.  

Police found Heaton’s girlfriend trembling inside a bathroom. 

As officers tried to calm the woman, she claimed Heaton waived this gun at her, and then loaded and unloaded it several times. 

Heaton was arrested.  

A probing officer questioned Heaton and got an unexpected response. Heaton said he had killed his girlfriend's car just a few days before. 

Heaton told police his girlfriend had been upset ever since.
