Portsmouth Virginia K9 Officer starves police horse to death; gets away with it.

VIRGINIA -- A Portsmouth police officer and his wife have been found not guilty of animal cruelty.

Brian Davis and Jennifer Davis of Suffolk faced two misdemeanor charges stemming from the death of a retired Portsmouth police horse.

General District Court records show the Davises were acquitted Tuesday. They were arrested in late July.

At the hearing, they admitted they had not provided any veterinary care for Amy. They owned the police horse Amy for almost four years.

Aren't the police supposed to take care of their own???

Owners called Suffolk authorities in May saying they had recently adopted the horse, but it came to them in poor condition and had to be euthanized.



Look what Brian Davis and Jennifer Davis did to Amy

Portsmouth police said Brian Davis had been assigned to the department's K-9 unit. He is now in an administrative assignment.
