Naugatuck police say New
Canaan Police Officer David Rivera Jr., of Stratford, turned himself in on
Monday to face animal cruelty charges.
Police say Daniel Luna,
the general manager of Rivera's dog training business shot, killed and buried
at least 10 dogs which did not respond to training.
On Tuesday morning, state and local police removed 31 dogs still living at Black
Rock Canines.
Rivera was charged
last week with illegal possession and
storage of explosives used to train the dogs.
He was placed on administrative
leave from New Canaan Police Department following that arrest.
