RIVERSIDE, Calif. — A retired Los Angeles County assistant fire chief plans to appeal his 90-day jail sentence for using a rock to beat a puppy so severely it was euthanized.
Glynn Johnson, 55, apologized Friday to the dog’s owners. He was convicted in January of animal cruelty using a deadly weapon for the 2008 attack, in which he bashed a 6-month-old German-shepherd mix named Karley in the head.
Johnson claimed he was freeing himself after the neighbor dog clamped its mouth on his hand as he walked her home.
