Sgt. Tom Lovejoy is charged with animal cruelty for leaving his police dog in a hot car.

Chandler police Sgt. Tom Lovejoy was booked into the Maricopa County jail on a misdemeanor charge of animal cruelty after a two-week investigation into the death of a 5-year-old Belgian Malinois named Bandit.

He was released later Wednesday, said Capt. Paul Chagolla, a spokesman for the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.

The sheriff's investigation showed Bandit was in Lovejoy's patrol car from about 9 a.m. to shortly after 10 p.m. August 11. During that time, the investigation found, the officer ran errands, napped and ate out with his wife. Lovejoy later found the dog dead in the car.

"I am certain Sgt. Lovejoy has suffered greatly from leaving hispolice dog in a sweltering car," Sheriff Joe Arpaio said in a statement. "I do not relish the idea of compounding his sadness. However, Lovejoy must be treated like anyone else in similar circumstances."

Lovejoy said Wednesday night that he is scheduled to appear in court September 25 and that his lawyer advised him not to comment further.

"With the sheriff railing on me right now, it's kind of hard to say anything," Lovejoy said.

Chandler Police Chief Sherry Kiyler said in a statement that the department respects and supports the criminal justice system and its processes, and that an internal investigation has been launched.

This guy should lose his job and serve time!

How can people be so vain.... I'm sure that dog did nothing but stand by his side and show him nothing but love.

I say we concrete his feet and drop his ass off a tall building.

where is the charge for killing a LEO? If anyone else did that they would be arrested for murdering a cop

Wow, he looks like a real upstanding guy to begin with.

I really hope they throw his sorry ass off the force for this. I hope he does jail time too.

What about the fucking bastard cop that kicked his dog to death?? Piece of shit! Oh, and the other officers just stood around and let it happen.

Why was the dog kicked?? He barked at the wrong time in training.
