Cowlitz Superior Court Judge Michael Evans found Thomas Richard Nash guilty of first-degree burglary with a weapons enhancement and first-degree animal cruelty with a weapons enhancement.
Woodland police arrested Nash June 28 after a report that he had entered a shop on the 9500 block of Old Pacific Highway South wearing a mask and shot a black Labrador Retriever twice. When the dog’s owner came out to the shop to see what happened, Nash turned the gun on him, fired and ran, police said at the time.
Woodland police said the two knew each other and had “been at odds recently over residency issues.”
Evans found Nash not guilty of a first-degree assault change, saying he wasn’t convinced Nash intended to assault the victim. Nash also was found not guilty of unlawful possession of a firearm.
Sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 2.
