Alan C. Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Dogs shot by deputies: Investigation ongoing, but no details released Two deputies are on administrative duty and many questions are still unanswered three days after Escambia County sheriff’s deputies reportedly entered a Warrington couple’s home without a search warrant and shot the couple’s two dogs, mortally wounding one.The deputies went into the home of Travis Nicholas, 22, and Cristina Moses, 32, on Flynn Drive Sunday night in search of a suspect in an armed disturbance that occurred earlier on the same street.Both Nicholas and Moses were cuffed in the incident but later released. Neither had been charged as of this afternoon.“I don’t know why it happened,” an emotional Moses said Tuesday. “I feel like my child has died.”Today, the Sheriff’s Office refused to provide additional details on what led deputies to enter the couple’s home through the window, cuff them, and shoot their two dogs, except to say that an investigation into the incident is pending.“There is both a criminal and an administrative investigation ongoing,” Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Sena Maddison wrote in an e-mail today. “More details will be available pending the conclusion of both the criminal and administrative investigation. But not before that time.”A sheriff’s report states that there is no video evidence of the incident, but the Sheriff’s Office has declined to provide a reason.A spokesperson for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement said Tuesday that the agency is not investigating the case at this point. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5mGMuKaLig
