TIVERTON —

A 32-year old Tiverton man was charged with domestic vandalism after digging up his family's dead parrot and throwing it through a storm door window.

Michael J. Ferreira, 32, of Tiverton was arrested on Thursday according to Tiverton Police spokesman Lt. Patrick Jones.

On Thursday at 1:37 p.m., Cpl. Daniel Raymond was assisting a disabled vehicle on Bulgarmarsh Road. He spoke to the operator who thought her son might be responsible for the car trouble. White residue was located around the gas tank and the woman thought her son might have poured sugar into her gas tank.

She also confirmed that the parrot was a former family pet that had died and was buried in the backyard.
