~ Update: June 22, 2022
I have emailed Malakoff Police Department Chief Floyd Thomas, Sergeant Touncy Hart, and Henderson County Attorney Clint Davis to inquire about the dog.
Chief Thomas told in an email that he did not have any information and that he was not familiar with the case.
Attorney Davis told me: “We believe that sometime after it was dropped off, it made its way into a major highway and was struck by a vehicle and as a result it died.”
~ Original story:
KLTV reports that the Henderson County District Attorney’s Office has released a statement advising that former Caney City Police Chief CHARLES GREGORY will be criminally charged in relation to an animal cruelty case.
According to KLTV, the charge stems from an incident that occurred on April 8, 2022, when GREGORY picked up a homeless dog in Trinidad, TX, drove him/her to Malakoff, TX, and then abandoned the furbaby.
KLTV further reports that the Henderson County DA’s Office sent a letter to attorneys in the Henderson County Defense Bar “notifying them the charge likely trigger a duty to disclose under Brady v. Maryland”.
Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963), was a landmark United States Supreme Court case that established that the prosecution must turn over all evidence that might exonerate the defendant (exculpatory evidence) to the defense.
The letters also states that GREGORY may have made false statements to the Trinidad Police Department.
