The following information has been provided by the Riverside Sheriff’s Department:
The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department’s investigation into the animal cruelty allegations made against Glynn Johnson on November 3 is continuing. For several days, investigators have attempted to contact Mr. Johnson to ask if he is willing to provide more information about the incident. Attempts to contact him by phone, at his home and through his employment have been unsuccessful so far.
Glynn Johnson is a Los Angeles Assistant Fire Chief.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact Sr. Investigator Cherie Blossfield at the Perris Station at (951) 210-1000.
According to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department the investigation started on November 3, at about 4:30 p.m. Riverside County Sheriff’s deputies were called to a home on Armintrout Drive in the unincorporated community of Woodcrest.
Two calls were received, minutes apart. One was from a woman who stated her husband had just been attacked by a dog. Another call was received from a male, who stated his neighbor had just beaten someone’s dog with a boulder.
When deputies arrived, they were told by a witness that a nearby resident had severely beaten a dog belonging to another neighbor. The dog had been found by the witness near his home and he was returning it to the owner when the neighbor, who lived next door to the owner of the dog, offered to return it for him.
After turning the dog over to the neighbor, the witness saw him beating the dog with his hands. At one point, the witness claimed he saw him use a nearby rock to strike the dog. The injured dog was taken by its owner to a veterinarian, where it was euthanized.
A deputy contacted the neighbor later at a Riverside area hospital, where he was being treated for an injury to his wrist and thumb. He claimed he had been attacked by the dog and only struck it in self defense.
After the initial investigation by deputies was done, the Perris Station Investigations Unit took over the investigation. A thorough investigation is being done in order to determine if a crime has been committed. California Penal Code 597 makes it a felony for anyone who maliciously and intentionally maims, mutilates, tortures, or wounds a living animal.
This investigation is currently in-progress. Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact Sr. Investigator Cherie Blossfield at the Perris Station at (951) 210-1000.

This is just terrible. Someone who is supposed to protect humans, beats a poor puppy to death. What a waste of life.
