Lilley, who was free on $6,500 bail on animal cruelty charges, was arrested again Thursday in connection with two vehicle burglaries, according to the affidavit.

Lilley, 20, of 10119 Gibsonton Drive, Riverview, broke in to two vehicles in Wimauma, stealing a speaker box from one and a wallet from a pickup, which he set ablaze, the report states. He used a credit card from the wallet to buy something at a gas station Sunday, according to the affidavit.

He is charged with fraudulent use of credit cards, two counts of burglary of a vehicle, grand theft and arson. He was being held without bail at Orient Road Jail.

Before the thefts, Lilley and two others went to petting zoo stables in Sun City. Big Pig and a pregnant pig survived the stabbings, and a third pig died.

Lilley turned himself in Monday and was charged with animal cruelty, grand theft of a farm animal and trespassing.
