UPDATE: Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office says the photo they released to the media of the alleged suspect was in fact not the suspect. Deputies are still searching for the man responsible.
------------------------
The Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help identifying a man they say is wanted for throwing a cat out of a moving car earlier this week.
According to deputies, the man was observed entering a bathroom facility about 5:50 p.m. on Oct. 9 at the Hudson Mills Metropark with a pet carrier.
The man then returned to his vehicle with several other occupants and drove off.
Deputies say they were going south of Dexter-Pinckney Rd. between N. Territorial and the Huron Creek Party Store before they threw the cat from the vehicle.
A witness then told deputies the cat was deceased and had severe head trauma with a collapsed skull, and no apparent injuries.
The suspect's vehicle is described as a blue Subaru, similar to the stock photo seen above.
The Humane Society of Huron Valley is offering a $500 reward to anyone with information leading to an arrest.
Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff's office at 734-973-7711 or the Humane Society at 734-661-3560.
