Handler – Robert Fain<\/p>\n
Deputy arrested after beloved K9 named Mailly dies from \u2018horrific\u2019 malnourishment and dehydration<\/p>\n
A former Louisiana deputy was arrested earlier this month after a K9 passed away from malnourishment, according to officials. The Advocate reports that 28-year-old Robert Fain, a former deputy with the State Fire Marshal\u2019s Office, is facing animal cruelty charges in connection with the death of German Shepperd, Mailly, who passed away in October. While under Fain\u2019s care, Mailly lost half of her body weight, according to police, and died due to \u201cextreme emaciation and dehydration.\u201d A veterinarian reportedly claimed that there was no reason Mailly shouldn\u2019t have been euthanized earlier unless someone had intentionally abused her. Fain was assigned to Mailly in July 2017 and participated in six weeks of K9 training in Alabama. During the training, Fain was taught how to take care of the dog, including proper procedures for feeding. Fain allegedly claimed the dog had been ill for a while, then later \u201cclaimed faulty hours and expenses related to working with the dog,\u201d according to the State Fire Marshal\u2019s Office. Subsequently, he\u2019s also facing fraud, theft, and injuring public records. \u201cA separate investigation was already underway into Fain at the time of Maily\u2019s death,\u201d the State Marshal\u2019s Office said. \u201cIn August, a supervisor\u2019s regular review of Fain\u2019s fire investigation case files revealed inconsistencies. It was later learned Fain had taken steps to cover up incomplete investigative work on one of his fire cases which included fabricating reports involving K-9 Maily.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
