Ohio officer pleads not guilty to animal cruelty after death of police dog left in cruiser MEDINA, Ohio – An Ohio officer whose police dog died from heatstroke in his cruiser has pleaded not guilty on two misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty. The Medina (meh-DY-nuh) Municipal Court clerks office says an attorney filed the plea on behalf of Montville Township police Sgt. Brett Harrison. Police say the two-year-old German shepherd, Beny, died Sept. 28 after Harrison left him in a cruiser in the station parking lot from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The cruiser was off and the windows were closed. Harrison previously issued a statement apologizing to the township, calling Beny a partner, friend and loving family member. Harrison received a two-week unpaid suspension and lost 40 hours of vacation. A message was left for his attorney.
