Steamboat Springs Police Department officers this morning arrested Del Herman, 70, on suspicion of shooting a dog March 12 in the Indian Trails neighborhood.
Detective Dave Kleiber said witnesses came forward who linked Herman to the shooting.
Duke, a 10-year-old Labrador retriever owned by the Arnone family of Steamboat Springs, was shot in the rear end while wandering in front of a Dumpster at 1327 Indian Trails. Despite surgery, the dog died March 13.
The Herman family owns the subdivision as well as the shop near where the dog was shot.
Herman said last week that he was at the shop around the time the dog was shot but that he did not shoot the dog. Kleiber said Herman today again denied shooting the dog.
