🚨ABUSE ALERT UPDATE: A judge in San Antonio recently gave a life sentence to a man for killing a K-9 dog.

Matthew Reyes Mireles was convicted of shooting Chucky, a 5-year-old Belgian Malinois that was part of the Bexar County Sheriff's Office. Authorities said that Mireles shot at officers as he led them on a chase through Karnes, Wilson, and Bexar counties. After fleeing on foot, Mireles allegedly fired several shots at officers and also at Chucky, who police deployed in an attempt to catch him. Because Mireles had nine prior felony convictions, he was sentenced as a habitual offender.

“Justice does not tolerate those who endanger others, show no respect for the lives of our citizens, and habitually commit crime after crime,” Bexar County District Attorney Joe D. Gonzales said in a statement.

It’s illegal to interfere with police service animals? According to Texas Penal Code Section 38.151, punishment ranges from a misdemeanor up to a felony in the 2nd degree. We are pleased to see Bexar County taking action to ensure justice and safety is a top priority for our law enforcement units - both man and dog.
