Fire Official Arrested In Puppy's Death
Fire Official Arrested In Puppy's Death
Johnson reportedly beat the puppy in view of a friend of the family who owned the dog. The case sparked national outrage because Johnson was not arrested, despite the conflicting reports of how the incident occurred and Johnson's rank within the fire department. The dog's owner also accused Johnson of shooting the family's previous pet with a pellet gun. Other neighbors living close to Johnson reported that their animals have also been attacked with pellet guns or have disappeared under mysterious circumstances.
Johnson has been put on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the case, but risks the loss of his job if convicted on felony charges. Johnson's arraignment is scheduled for January 13, 2009.
