From the Baltimore Sun:
A city police officer is accused of beating a Jack Russell terrier puppy with a mop, then choking the dog and sending a picture of its dead body to its owner — his girlfriend.
Montgomery County Police have charged Alec Eugene Taylor, 27, of Silver Spring, with aggravated animal cruelty and abuse or neglect of an animal.
Taylor’s girlfriend told police she received a text from Taylor on February 26 telling her that he killed the seven-month-old dog, named Rocko, after it defecated on the carpet. He then sent her a picture, according to a news release.
She told police Taylor said he was tired of cleaning up the dog’s mess and that he had beaten it with a mop before throwing its body in a parking lot dumpster. Police said he later told investigators he used a mop to force Rocko from behind the dryer and then used his hands to choke the dog.
Taylor’s girlfriend told police she asked him to get the dog from the dumpster, and she later buried it at a Hyattsville park.
Animal Services Officers located and recovered the dog and performed necropsy. The dog died from an acute hemorrhagic shock likely due to blood loss from liver damage caused by blunt force trauma.
Taylor turned himself into police on Wednesday. He does not have an attorney listed in online court records.
In a statement, Baltimore police said Taylor, a five-year veteran, has been suspended without pay.
If this is how he treats puppies, how did he treat citizens when he was on the beat?
Yea, how about a drug test for this low life pig.
Yea maybe his so called girl freind should not have a dog or any other pet/animal if she cannot take care of it herself,but that still doesn`t excuse this pig from doing what he did.
Yea I bet that this is not the first thime he beat this dog.
Ya know that I have heard many years ago that if you are a animal abuser that you are most likely going to be a child abuser – yea that was sai about a farmer and another guy in town where i live , and ya know what, it turned out to be true and those two – unrelated cases – both were sent to prison right where they belong
He is suspended without pay?, how about held in jail without bond and then found guilty as he did admit to what he did.
This cop needs to be locked up for a long long time. There is no excuse for animal/child abusers at all reguardless of what they say.
All this for a dog yet when they torture and kill a human they get paid suspension, return to duty and no punishment. I think this is a little twisted. I love animals and agree he needed to be held responsible but why a dog and not a person?
Perhaps because his girl freind made a deal about it . when a cop beats a person or murders a person there are usually a few more cops to get their story straight and here the pig didn`t have his cop buddies to corroberate with him to get a story to protect him.
This is a typical cop simple as that. I bet he is a child abuser too.
Why a dog, Grin? Because, these folks are PSYCHOPATHS and psychopaths ALWAYS pick on the weakest of the bunch…if you have the chance to strangle a human who can fight back or a puppy, and you are a psychopath, which would you choose? Not only are psychopaths without conscience, totally amoral, manipulative, and evil, but they are also cowards…only cowards strangle puppies or kittens!
I meant why the punishment for a dog but not for a person when they kill and injure them.
