Veteran Texas Cop Fired in Connection With Her Husband’s Dog Training Facility

VETERAN TX COP FIRED in connection with her husband and his dog training facility, where three dogs allegedly died in his care. Stacie Putnam Brown, with nearly 20 years at the Arlington Police Department was fired after a grand jury indictment in December for obstruction. Then, two months later, after an internal affairs investigation, she was terminated. This obstruction charge stems from one of the pet parents who lost their dog, Brooklyn, they say, in Alan Brown’s care. The Ndukwe family left their Bernadoodle, Brooklyn, with Alan Brown of K-9 Direction in Arlington for boarding and training, but Brooklyn never came back home. After the Ndukwe’s viral Facebook post warning others about the Browns, Stacie Brown filed a police report against them, claiming they intended to harm or threaten her as a public servant. Brown’s case against them was dropped, but then charges were brought against her. There is no word on whether Stacie Brown plans to appeal her termination. Alan Brown’s attorney has denied the allegations, stating that Brown loves animals and that the claims are driven by heartache. His case is still in the court system, and he faces three counts of animal cruelty and tampering with evidence.
