A state animal cruelty investigation has resulted in the arrest of a now-former McNairy County Sheriff’s deputy, who is accused of shooting multiple dogs to death while tasked with ensuring the animals were okay.

Summary

Former McNairy County Sheriff’s deputy Connor Brackin, 24, has been fired and charged with seven counts of aggravated animal cruelty and eight counts of reckless endangerment after allegedly shooting seven dogs during an animal welfare check in Bethel Springs, Tennessee.

Brackin, who had been on the job for less than a month, reportedly released one dog to the welfare caller before killing the others for unknown reasons.

Following a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation probe, Brackin turned himself in and was released on bond.

    Fascist saw an opportunity to harm animals and got carried away. Couldn’t help himself. How many other sick individuals stalk our streets with a gun and a badge?

      I’m all for calling out fascism, but let’s not overuse it. He’s a loser for sure.
