The video allegedly showed Davenport violently kicking the cat outside a Chevron gas station on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in early July.
He has been charged with misdemeanor cruelty to animals, Brown said. The cat has still not been found, and the extent of the cat's injuries are unknown.
Tips received through CrimeStoppers Atlanta led to Davenport’s identification, leading to his arrest and indictment, Brown said.
