Cherokee County Deputy fired for shooting dog

September 6, 2018 By Radio Iowa Contributor

A sheriff’s deputy in northwest Iowa has been fired over the fatal shooting of a dog.

Cherokee County Sheriff’s Deputy Alec Wolf was fired this week after video of the incident surfaced on social media. The shooting happened in early August after a report in Cleghorn that a dog had attacked two other dogs, killing one of them. Deputy Wolf had claimed he shot the animal outside of city limits.

He was placed on leave days later, after a Cleghorn resident reported the dog was actually shot in his yard. He took photos and said the deputy shot the dog 10 times before trying to clean up the scene.
