Officers located a deceased dog in the parking lot. Police say the suspect, 29-year-old Joshua Land, is charged with Animal Cruelty, Deadly Conduct, Disorderly Conduct and Possession of Marijuana.
Investigators are working on determining the reasoning behind the shooting and killing of the dog.
The Navasota Police Department is receiving assistance from the Grimes County Sheriff’s Office and DPS. Anyone who has information on the shooting is asked to contact the Navasota Police Criminal Investigation Division at 936-825-6410 or Grimes County Crime Stoppers at 936-873-2000.
A second incident occurred around 8:30 a.m. in a convenience store parking lot in the 9300 block of Highway 90. The police department says officers who were investigating the shooting heard a loud commotion and saw two subjects start to engage in a physical altercation. Officers arrived on scene and found that no one was physically assaulted.
One of the parties at the location, 33-year-old Jordan Howard of Angleton, was found to have an outstanding warrant for probation violation – Assault to a Child or Elderly Individual. Howard was booked into the Grimes County Jail for the warrant and for Possession of Marijuana.
Cruelty to animals and killing a dog just imagine what they can do to humans. Get him and keep him off the streets. We don’t need these folks roaming the streets.
Lock him up forever, right?? Whatever. He could have very well been protecting his child from getting bit by an animal that should have been taken care of better by its owner.
Sometimes you have to put dogs down when they are bad. Like that bad dog up in South Dakota that the Governor had to take out. That dog could have been a danger to anyone coming by that might not want to get it’s hand licked or have a loyal companion forever. Nope. Best to put them down.
