PAROWAN — The police chief of Parowan has been charged with two misdemeanors in connection with the killing of a dog, according to the city's mayor.
Mayor Donald Landes said he believed the charges were related to the shooting last July of a loose dog that Chief Preston Griffiths had determined to be "vicious."
Griffiths, 43, was charged last week in Iron County's 5th District Court with official misconduct, a class B misdemeanor, and obstruction of justice, a class A misdemeanor. He was served Friday with a summons to appear in court March 22.

Here is the background, along with the chief’s admission to the owner that he shot her dog:

Now the chief is pleading “Not guilty” http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/home/51525340-76/dog-griffiths-allegedly-case.html.csp
Had it been my dog the cop would have been served the papers posthumously.
There's two types of cops in this world --those who've been caught in their lies and those who have yet to be caught.
Please everyone, note that “Immerito” is a troll who posts nothing but anti-cop posts. He apparently spends all his time searching the net for these obscure incidents. Frequently he posts anti-cop articles from known socialist organs.
Please just ignore his posts.
And you’d rightfully be convicted of capital murder. But we know you’re kidding.
“Please everyone, note that “Immerito” is a troll who posts nothing but anti-cop posts.”
Demonstrably incorrect as looking at my posts today alone will avow.
Is it “anti-cop” to strongly disapprove of a police chief who lies to one of the citizens whom he must serve? To disapprove of a police chief who broke his own department’s code of conduct?
Do you approve of police officers lying about their activities?
Why should we ignore him? Apparently what he has posted is completely accurate. This cop shot a dog, then lied about it in his official capacity.
I’ll echo what another poster said. If a cop does this to my dog there won’t be enough left of him or her to serve legal papers to.
That’ll just be Mrs. L. When I start in things will get really ugly.
Depends who is on the jury.
