Prelminary hearing set in fire chief's dog-beating case
A preliminary hearing is scheduled to be held Tuesday for Glynn Damon Johnson, a Riverside resident and Los Angeles County fire chief accused of beating his next-door neighbor's puppy with a rock.
The hearing, which will include testimony, has been continued in the past but is expected to go forward as scheduled Tuesday in Riverside Superior Court, a court spokesman said today.
Johnson, 54, is accused of beating his neighbor's 6-month-old puppy on Nov. 3, 2008. The dog was euthanized because of the injuries.
Johnson, who has been charged with a single felony count of animal cruelty, has said he was acting in self-defense.
