Cop Makes Woman Sit In Hot Car To See How Her Dog Felt: Police Blotter

 

A police officer in Strongsville, Ohio, made a woman sit in a hot car so she could see what it felt like for her dog, according to a local police blotter.The blotter did not name the officer or the woman, but stated that a concerned individual called police on April 12 to report that a dog was locked inside of a Nissan Sentra in a Walmart parking lot in Strongsville.When the woman returned, she told the responding officer her dog was fine. What happened next was captured in the blotter, which was published by the Sun News:To prove a point, the officer made the woman sit inside of the warm car with the windows up and without the engine on for a few minutes.The woman said she was fine but the officer noted she looked uncomfortable. The woman was advised if she did this again she would be cited.A similar situation played out in the town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, last year. Shelly Nicholas of Belen, New Mexico, told local station KOB that she filed a formal complaint with the police department when Officer Vincent Kriescher instructed her to sit inside the hot car where she had left her dog.Nicholas told KOB the officer was “abusive,” but Kriescher told the station that people need to understand what it’s like to leave pets in the car. Kriescher’s lapel camera caught the incident on video:
