FORT WORTH (AP) - A Fort Worth deputy police chief has been arrested for cruelty to an animal for fatally shooting a dog that may have mauled the chief's cat to death.
Deputy Chief Kenneth Flynn turned himself in Monday night at the Tarrant County Jail, then was released on $1,000 bond.
A witness told authorities she saw Flynn, gun in hand, near a German shepherd last week. She says he told her the dog killed his cat in the neighborhood, then waved her away. She heard gunshots a few minutes later and called 911. She also called police later and was upset that a report hadn't been made.
Flynn's attorney tells the Fort Worth Star-Telegram the shooting of a dangerous dog is legal and his arrest "reeks of politics."
