NEWPORT -- The Former Salve Regina University student accused of killing a rabbit with a hockey stick pleaded not guilty on Thursday in Superior Court.
Nicholas Coyle, 20, of Merrimack, N.Y., was charged with malicious injury of an animal, after an incident last November in which the state alleges he used the dead rabbit as a puck.
The former Salve lacross player was released on his own recognisance, and is due back in court next month.
He faces up to two years in prison if convicted.
