of K-9 left in hot car
Associated Press | Aug 31, 2016
(Bellefonte) -- A corrections officer in Centre County has been charged after a drug-detecting police dog in his care died last month after it was left in a hot vehicle for 2.5 hours during a training exercise.
State police says Sergeant Chad Holland has been charged with animal cruelty in the July 7th death of two-year-old Totti at the state prison at Rockview near Bellefonte.
Dog handlers tried to cool the yellow Labrador with a water hose and ice after they realized he was locked in the car, but the dog later died.
An online petition urging the state Department of Corrections to fire Holland was started after the dog's death.
It's unclear if he has an attorney who can comment on the charges.
