Cop Who Shot Arfee On Desk Duty

The Coeur d’Alene Police Department officer who shot and killed a 2-year-old Labrador last week at Java on Sherman has been reassigned to office duty, Chief Ron Clark said. Clark addressed the Coeur d’Alene City Council (Tuesday night), calling the shooting of Craig Jones’ dog, Arfee, a “tragedy.” On July 9, an officer responding to a non-emergency report of a suspicious vehicle potentially connected to child enticement fired once through the window of Jones’ white van, killing Arfee. ... “People have inquired about getting personnel discipline information about our personnel, about this incident and other incidents as well,” Clark said. “State law, unfortunately, does not allow us to release personnel discipline matters or information”/Keith Cousins, Coeur d'Alene Press.
