SEA ISLE CITY -- A Philadelphia man charged with killing a seagull on the beach in Sea Isle City over the summer rejected an offer from prosecutors that would have only required him to pay a $250 fine, according to a report.

If Andrew Frost, 56, accepted the deal at a hearing on Thursday, prosecutors would have dropped the criminal animal cruelty charge against him, CapeMayCountyHerald.com said.

As a counter offer, Frost offered to make a donation to an animal charity, but prosecutors said no.

He threw rocks at the gull to kill it, the report said.

Frost now faces criminal and civil charges, the report said. However, it's unclear what those charges are and whether they include jail time. Frost is scheduled to go to trial on Nov. 16.

The incident took place Aug. 25.

Earlier in August, a man allegedly killed a seagull with an umbrella in Ocean City.

Editor's Note: The story has been updated to reflect that there were separate seagull incidents in Sea Isle City and Ocean City.
