KOKOMO, Ind. The Howard County Sheriff s Office is investigating a dog found shot in a cage and left on the side of the road. According to police, a 16-year-old is facing preliminary charges of cruelty to an animal and carrying a handgun without a license.
The sheriff s office said it was called on Jan. 26 about a dog that had been shot multiple times and abandoned. The sheriff s office said there was a lot of misinformation spread on social media that made the investigation harder.
They were able to learn that the dog people had been calling Bear was actually named Leonard and spoke with its owner. The owner said the dog attacked her and she had to go to the emergency room to get stitches to her nose and face.
At least one police officer from the Baltimore region was suspended over possible involvement in last week’s insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, as local law enforcement agencies as departments continue to investigate officers’ potential involvement.

Around the United States, local jails and state prison systems are battered by a wave of Covid-19 and have resorted to completely shutting down, and transferring their inmates somewhere else, an extreme strategy to keep the virus at bay.
State and local officials from California, Missouri, and Pennsylvania say that so many guards have fallen ill with covid-19 and are inept at working that they snappishly closed some correctional facilities to preserve community security and prisoner s safety.
The fallout is easy to predict, experts say. The open jails and prisons will perhaps become more crowded, unhygienic, and disease-ridden, and the transfers are likely to help covid-19 thrive both inside and outside the walls.
