North Carolina Cop Shoots and Kills Family Dog after Showing up to Wrong Address

A North Carolina sheriff’s deputy shot and killed a family dog named Rocky Monday after claiming it was approaching him “viciously.”

But Rocky’s owners say their dog was just being friendly.

The Union County sheriff’s deputy had showed up to a wrong address when he encountered the pit bull, pulling out his gun as its owner pleaded with him not to kill the dog, telling him that it won’t bite.

But the deputy shot Rocky twice.

Thai Fowls, who owned Rocky along with his wife, posted a picture of his dog lying on the pavement in a puddle of blood.

In his Facebook post, Fowls wrote that both his wife and mother told the officer to not shoot the Rocky because he will not bite the officer.

Fowls then uploaded another picture to his account of Rocky laying lifeless but this one had a Union County Sheriff patrol car in the background.

In the comments on the second picture Fowls wrote:

“For the people who say I’m lying or making this up. I don’t play like that I don’t think it’s funny. It’s not a game this dog wasn’t a pet to us he part of our family and you can’t replace family I’m just trying to raise awareness. So stop with the negativity and keep scrolling if you can’t be positive. Thank you have a blessed day!”

Union County Sheriff Eddie Cathey has not addressed the shooting on the department’s Facebook page, but he did address the grand opening of a state-of-the-art shooting range that took place this morning.

On that Facebook post, a woman named Becky Bilokur-Tobias, who runs a Facebook page called Justice For Colonel Shot by Llano County Sheriff‘ posted the following comment:

“Your sheriff was at the wrong address and shot Rocky the dog in his own driveway while hiding behind his car.”

In a Facebook interview with Photography is Not a Crime today, Fowls said he and his wife were inside when a family friend came to their door and told them that they need to go outside because there is was a deputy out front.

His wife stepped outside to see what was going on and that is when Fowls heard her screaming, “don’t shoot, he won’t bite!”.

“As soon as they were about a few feet away from my dog he shot twice once while he was up and again when he fell one in his neck and once in his head,” Fowls said.

Fowls also said the deputy lied in the report when he claimed Rocky approached him “viciously,” making him fear for his life because the bullets struck the side of Rocky’s head and neck.

It is also noticeable in the picture that the blood trail is in the driveway and not near the patrol car.

Support our Mission

Help us build a database of bad cops

For almost 15 years, PINAC News has remained active despite continuous efforts by the government and Big Tech to shut us down by either arresting us for lawful activity or by restricting access to our readers under the pretense that we write about “social issues.”

Since we are forbidden from discussing social issues on social media, we have created forums on our site to allow us to fulfill our mission with as little restriction as possible. We welcome our readers to join our forums and support our mission by either donating, volunteering or both.

Our plan is to build a national database of bad cops obtained from public records maintained by local prosecutors. The goal is to teach our readers how to obtain these lists to ensure we cover every city, county and state in the country.

After all, the government has made it clear it will not police the police so the role falls upon us.

It will be our most ambitious project yet but it can only be done with your help.

But if we succeed, we will be able to keep innocent people out of prison.
