The Duplin County sheriff says
Deputy Kevin Williams was on duty when he got a call that his child was sick
and needed to be picked up from school.
When Williams arrived home, he
fed the dog, but forgot to take “Kela” out of the cruiser.
The dog was found dead the next
morning, according to authorities.
Kela was a Belgian Shepherd
trained to track down people and narcotics.
The deputy has been reassigned
to courthouse baliff.
The sheriff says the district
attorney’s office did not bring charges against Williams because there was no
criminal intent.
