Cop kills dog during sex offender compliance check at wrong home.
Officer James Freeman of Greenbrier, AR was doing a sex offender compliance check on private property when the homeowner’s dog barked at him. So Freeman shot the dog. The event would be an example of how mean some of the officers doing compliance checks can be to people on the registry and their families, but it was just made worse by the fact that the idiot went to the wrong home.
The below video shows the aftermath of the tragedy.

I will bet he also shot the dog because he always wanted one a a kid and his parents never let him have one. Who knows the psychology of some of these people. It can be one single thing or various things mesh together to make one disturbing individual. I would never promote this jerk to the k9-unit. Who knows what he’ll do with his own dog.

He went to the right address yet shot the neighbor’s dog because his bark scared him. I bet he shot the dog so he had something to blame on a registrant. This isn’t the first time a dog was shot by this county sheriff department. Sheriff Judd where is your wheel of justice when it comes to wrong done by cops.
Dear Bandon, are you talking about Sheriff Grady Judd of Polk County, FL.? The case in the video was of a deputy in Greenbriar, AR. I have no doubt many deputies under Grady Judd abuse their authority because I live in Polk County, FL. But the incident in question shown in the video occurred in a different county of a different state
Not a fan of Judd
I know this shooting occurred in Arkansas and not Florida. However I’ve seen Sheriff Judd on Tv with his fugitive wheel of criminals; yet I haven’t seen one with law enforcement abuse of authority on his wheel. Sorry I’ll try not to use sarcasm as a way to deal with all this bs.
I’d love to ask the non-registrant people angry about the dog assassination if they would have shown the same outrage had the officer been at the right address and the dog belonged to the registrant?
On the sheriff’s office FB page the outrage is there; they’re flooding the page with comments even over a post about a “sex offender’s arrest.” Many are commenting on the dog, not the registrant.
Derek you already know the answer to that. I use to date a girl who liked her dog more than she liked me LOL
I believe there are people out there (registrant owner or not) that would be upset about this…The Dog is innocent. I would dare to say postings on the incident would be the same regardless of owner…in similar situation like the owner said the Dog ain’t never bit anyone… Now the registrant…I wouldn’t be surprised if somehow this will get spun on him….use your imagination
Bring criminally cleared is one thing, being civilly cleared is another in a civil suit. Ask OJ Simpson (millions owed in that civil suit to the families). The dept and the officer could be lawsuited for money and get ordered to pay it in the political climate today.
It is truly a pity that the homeowner did not shoot the intruder AKA cop.
Clearly after his dog was killed on his own property he had every right to assume he was next!
