CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) - Detectives say a second person has been arrested in the slayings of 50 ducks at a children's zoo in Cedar Rapids.

The city said Tuesday that Shayne Smalling, 19, of Twentynine Palms, Calif., turned himself in to authorities. Officials say Smalling faces a felony charge of criminal mischief and an aggravated misdemeanor count of livestock abuse.

In September, Zachary Kanellis, 19, of Cedar Rapids was arrested and charged with second-degree criminal mischief and livestock abuse.

The charges are related to the June 25, 2008 discovery of 50 dead ducks at Bever Park Children's Zoo. Workers arrived to find broken locks on the building and the cages inside. Police say the ducks were stoned to death. Forty-five other ducks were unharmed.
