ROGERS, Ark. (AP) - Authorities say a Rogers police lieutenant accused of shocking a cow with his stun gun and videotaping the incident will be suspended for 10 days without pay.
Rogers Police Chief Steve Helms says the suspension of Lt. David Mitchell will begin March 17. The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent a letter
dated Feb. 11 complaining that Mitchell filmed himself using the electronic stun device on a cow.
A report released Tuesday says the incident happened in June 2006 and involved cows owned by Mitchell's family. According to the report, the stun gun malfunctioned and shocked Mitchell and another man. Their second attempt did hit the cow, but appeared to have no effect, the report said.
