Man ‘threatened with jail by cop who shot his dog & prevented him from taking the bleeding animal for treatment’

A man says that he was threatened with jail by a police officer in Atlanta after he tried to tend to his bleeding dog which the officer had just shot in the jaw.

The incident occurred on Thursday evening when Doctor, a nine-year-old German Shepherd, ran to the front of owner Tim Theall’s Georgia home after being let out of the backyard. Before Theall could catch up with his lively pet, two gun shots rang out. A DeKalb County police officer investigating a false house alarm call at the house had been caught unawares by the dog and shot him in the throat.

Fortunately Doctor was still alive, although bleeding profusely. Theall says he can understand why the officer shot his pet in the heat of the moment, but it’s what happened next that shocked him. When Theall and his wife attempted to take the animal to the vet for treatment, the officer refused to let leave the neighborhood.

‘No steps were taken by DeKalb police whatsoever to try to save my dog’s life,’ Theall told NBC Atlanta.

  1. I see people on this site criticizing the Salisbury P.D. constantly about laziness or poor production. Granted I retired 12 years ago and do not know the current generation. My generation worked hard and were honest. Let me explain the South. Corruption, laziness, poor work ethic, job & law knowledge horrifically bad. Judges not much better. How do I know I have won 16 straight cases as a consultant. Salisbury residents are far more safer from corruption then they know. When was the last time that a judge in Maryland threatened a defendant with the maximum penalty if he refused to plead guilty? When was the last time a Salisbury officer randomly selected you standing in line in a store and arrested you. This is common place in the South.
