Detectives met with Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson to hand over a criminal affidavit naming Mary Jo Frazier, former manager of boulder city animal control, on 37 felony counts of animal cruelty. But multiple sources familiar with the story told to the iteam that wolfson got an earful about much more. Boulder city officials continue to claim that Police Administrator conger did the right thing when he allowed Mary Jo Frazier to retire rather than face criminal charges. In april of 2015, conger was told about widespread problems at the Animal Shelter by animal control employee ann inabnitt. A Police Investigation identified 91 dogs and cats that had been euthanized by frazier without waiting the required 5 days or getting an outside vet to sign off. Documents obtained by the iteam show the actual number of suspicious euthanizations is closer to 1300. The city to be embarrassed and decided on his own the case would be tough to prove in court. However, the da was told last week that ann inabnitt initially warned conger about problems at the shelter a full year earlier, in april 2014. In that instance, inabnitt was upset when frazier allegedly came into the shelter with a dog owned by her ex husband. Tom finn former Boulder City Police chief mary jo came into the shelter on her day off with her ex husbands dog, which was a dachshund and she stated quote, im tired of this dog pissing on the floor and she euthanized it in front of ann, put it in a bag, and threw it in a freezer and said dont put this in the log book and she left. Within recent weeks, conger reportedly called inabnitt on the carpet and told her the meeting in 2014 never happened, that she never told him about that incident. Something else relayed to the da the Police Investigators instructed by conger to omit any reference to other criminal matters. Specifi cally allegations that cash and narcotic drugs were missing from the shelter. The da is now aware of those allegations and has requested followup information, according to prosecutors. A third issue hanging over congers head is one that, like the others, was initially dug up by his predecessor, former chief tom finn, who uncovered this document showing that conger intervened in a dui case involving a family friend. He ordered the release of Dianna Gibson whod was arrested in november 2014 for drunk driving. Finn notes that conger isnt a peace officer. He was hired by a private contractor to be administrator, not the police chief, a move that was done so he could draw his full retirement along with a police salary. Releasing a dui suspect without bail was a surprise to the former chief. Finn as a police chief, i never ord anybody, its just something i purview of a judge. I never saw this form before that was sent to me in my records request. George knapp 8 news now.
