Policeman Shoots Neighbor's Dog

A local police officer may face disciplinary action for shooting his neighbor's dog.

Thomasville's police chief is expected to decide what action to take against Officer Andrew Childs.

The dog Childs admits to shooting survived, but may lose a leg.

Glen Bierman used to go bike riding with his dog Ford.

On only three legs, the one and a half year old pit weimaraner mix can still hop on the platform at the front of the bike.

But Bierman has stopped taking Ford on rides because of his bad leg.

How did it happen?

Bierman says he was working in the woods near his Cairo home September 23rd.

"I heard these gunshots and I heard one shot, then I heard the second shot, then the dog just went crazy screaming. It was just a horrible, horrible sound," said Bierman.

Bierman says four more shots followed.

He found Ford limping down a trail bleeding.

Bierman says he confronted his neighbor, Thomasville Police Officer Andrew Childs, who told him he shot Ford because he thought he was a stray.

"His leg is destroyed, good chance of losing it," said Bierman.

An x-ray of Ford's leg shows it's being held together by pins and Bierman must clean the wound every day.

Thomasville Police Lieutenant Kathy Royal sent this letter to Bierman Saturday stating an internal investigation into the shooting has been finished.

She wrote, "I have found there to be sufficient evidence of policy violations as it relates to your complaint."

The file has been turned over to Thomasville's police chief for review and possible disciplinary action.

Bierman believes Childs should lose his job.

"He's a danger to people," said Bierman. "Someone that endangers the public like that I don't think should be working for the public," he said.

Assistant Thomasville Police Chief Troy Rich tells us the chief will make a decision within a week about Officer Childs, who is still working.

The Wichita County Sheriff's Office is investigating a case of animal cruelty by a member of law enforcement.

According to Wichita County Sheriff David Duke, on Oct. 29, a call came into the sheriff's office about a dog laying in someone's yard.

Here is a timeline of what happened:

Sheriff Duke says a sheriff's deputy, along with Precinct 1 Constable Mark Brewer arrived at the scene.

Duke says the deputy's report states Brewer believed the dog was sick or injured.

The dog had a collar, but no tags and when the deputy tried to contact animal control and the Humane Society but no one answered.

Sheriff Duke says Brewer offered to take the dog.

The deputy and Brewer put the dog in the back of Brewer's truck on a piece of plywood and Brewer drove off.

Duke says minutes later, the deputy got a message from dispatch about someone looking for their dog.

The sheriff says Brewer had taken the dog to the Wichita River, shot it and disposed of the carcass in the river.

The constable called the owner of the dog and told him what happened.

Duke says this is an unfortunate incident.

Aw come on don't ya' know it's part of our betters job description to decide which pets are acceptable for whom and which pets may be used for target practice...

Not that I have any faith in psychology but it's interesting what they profess about those who kill pets....

When do cops advance to putting cats in microwaves or burying them up to their necks in the lawn and mowing grass?
