BRIGHTON — The Commerce City police officer accused of fatally shooting an unrestrained dog in November 2012 pleaded not guilty May 6 in Adams City District Court.
Robert Price, who faces felony charges of aggravated cruelty to animals, is set to face trial Sept. 30 in connection with the Nov. 24, 2012, shooting of Chloe, a pit bull who was found unrestrained in the 9600 block of Nucla Street.
In video of the incident captured by a neighbor, Price is seen firing his service weapon multiple times at Chloe after the dog was shocked with a Taser after an animal control officer was unable to control the dog with a catch pole.
